![]() You can find that in the top left-hand corner. In the photo below, you can see that I have clicked on the design (notice the blue box around it) and then I clicked on "Linetype". Like I mentioned above, all we have to do is change the linetype and it will allow us to draw instead of cut: When you insert an image or text onto the canvas in Design Space, it will automatically choose to cut it. Let's take a look at this Dog Mama design - I found it in Cricut Access. You can draw either images you found from Cricut or those you have uploaded yourself. In order to draw, you simply have to change the linetype in Design Space from "Cut" to "Draw". For starters, you can have your Cricut draw pretty much everything. Now that you've got the basics down, I'll show you how to use the drawing feature. Not a huge deal if you have the Explore One, you'll just need an adapter to draw! We don't sell it on our website, but you can buy it directly from Cricut here. The Explore One has a single tool holder, so it cuts and writes in two steps. I'll include a picture of the double tool holder below. All of the other machines have a double tool holder, which allows you to draw and cut (or cut and score) in one-step. However, if you have the Cricut Explore One, you'll need to purchase an adapter in order to draw. The Cricut Explore machines cover: Cricut Explore, Explore One, Cricut Explore Air, and Cricut Explore Air 2. The only machines that have the drawing feature are the Cricut Explore machines and the Cricut Maker. What Cricut machines have the ability to draw? We sell a lot of Cricut pens and markers, you can check out our collection by clicking here. There's nothing worse than purchasing something and then it doesn't work! I actually use Cricut pens at work too when I am writing down notes. You can experiment and try other pens/markers if you want but using a Cricut pen is the safer bet. Basically, the higher the number, the thicker the pen.Īnother thing I love about using Cricut pens is that I know for sure they will work with my machine. I have also used 1.0 pens, which are thicker than the 0.4 ones. ![]() When you first get your Cricut, there will be a black pen included and it's a 0.4 pen. I often use 0.4 Fine Point pens, which seem to be a popular one. ![]() Sometimes you'll want a fine tip and other times you may want a thicker marker, it just depends on your needs. The pens are all labeled by their thickness, which is helpful to know when you're making a project. What pens/markers can I use with my Cricut?įirst things first, if you want to draw with your Cricut then you need some pens or markers to draw with. Luckily for you, Cricut has tons of them - of all different colors, kinds, and thicknesses. ![]() Today I’m going to walk you through how if you have never used it before and I'll show you a project I made with it too! Overall, I’d say it’s pretty simple but there are a few things that are helpful to know, so let’s get started. I use it for cards, stickers and little embellishments in projects. Now that I have been using my Cricut for a few years, I absolutely love using the drawing feature. I know when I first got started with my Cricut, it was something I overlooked because I was so excited to cut different materials. You can check out the project here if you're interested! From that project, someone simply asked us, "How do you use the drawing feature?" And it got to me to thinking - maybe not a lot of people know how to use the drawing feature. I recently shared a project in our Cricut Community Facebook group that used a pen and the drawing feature in Design Space to make a project.
