any direction. create the scene with as many pets as you want. you can also add new items like a fence, a house, flowers or trees. when you are happy with the drawing you can start coloring it. you can use a tool that will automatically color everything, a pencil or a brush to make thinner or thicker lines. in the bottom part of the screen you have a wonderful selection of colors. you can also use an eraser every time you make a mistake. good luck!
