To make the image above, I made two dots. Then I changed to Line tool and changed the Color to Red. Then I made three red lines, which was two clicks each, one click for the start and one click for the end of each line. And then I changed to rectangle, changed the Color to Magenta and the fill Color to Pink. I made one click for the top left corner of the nose and another click for bottom right corner. I didn't drag the mouse at all, I just clicked once for each dot, and twice for the other shapes.

== Saving and Opening .marb files ==

To save your work as a .marb file, Go to File > Save and type in the name of the file to save to:

[[File:MBGuideSave.png]]

But it opened over the existing board. I should have selected ''Clear'' first and then opened it!

== Advanced tips ==

* For an eraser, just use a dot (or rectangle) with white color (and white fill color)
* Try the On screen tool selector dialog. Selecting the left most position means no tool. The next along is dot, then line, then rectangle.
