Model with the class how to navigate the Sumo Paint application. Note that depending on the device you might have to click on the open paint button or alternatively scroll down to find the canvas.

Explain that a paint program allows users to create original artwork. Point out the tool ribbon along the left side of the screen and explain that different tools will make different changes to the picture. Point out the color choices along the right side of the screen and explain that this is where they select a color or change a color they would like to work with.

Explain that the paintbrush tool has a blue background because the tool is selected or turned on. Explain that to make a line you must use a drag and drop motion. The ink will start once the mouse button is pushed down and stop when the button is released. Really emphasize with students that when using a mouse to go very, very slow or else it will be difficult to control the line being painted. Show a few examples of going fast versus slow.

Show students where the clear layer tool or garbage can tool is. Explain that when pushing this it will return the canvas back to all white and allow them to start over if they would like. Model this.

Show students where the eraser tool is. Draw a figure and make a mistake. Turn on the eraser tool being sure to point out that this is now active and that the background color is blue. Explain that they can use a drag and drop motion to erase only parts of their drawing. Compare this to the clear layer or garbage can tool and discuss what is the same and different between these two tools.

Explain to students that you are now ready to start drawing again. (Leave it on the eraser tool.) Show the class that it is not working, and ask if anyone might know what the problem is. The first time doing this, students may not realize that the paintbrush tool is not active, so lead them through changing it back to the paintbrush tool. Start drawing, make a mistake that needs erasing, and repeat asking them what the problem is after the erasing is done and you want to start painting again. It might take three or four repetitions for students to quickly identify which tool is active and that it needs to be switched.

The text tool can be taught after the basic tools above are reasonably proficient. The text tool is more challenging but highly useful for projects. Model how to use it and include explaining that they will use the keyboard to enter text. Have students type their names on the drawing.

As you use different apps and programs and notice that they use the same icons as the tools listed above, point them out to students so they will begin to understand that they can transfer their skills to new apps and predict how the tools will work and use them.

Sumo Paint is a free online painter program which can be used to create art, such as avatars for use on the forums. This tutorial, by Iljaynell, explains how to make an avatar using Sumo Paint.

To finish off your avatar, merge the colour layer and the outline together. Then click the FX button in the bottom right corner. On the menu that appears, select outer glow. Adjust the settings and press OK. Then add text, and your done!

Sumopaint has web-based "paint" features similar in some respects to Pixlr.[4] It was originally created in 2008 by Sumo Limited.[5] Sumopaint has many of the same tools and features as Photoshop but is geared more towards illustration, whereas other software such as Photoshop is more suited for heavy image editing.[6][7] It has been used to teach students how to edit images.[8] Like Photoshop, it has layering capability, image adjustment tools such as changing the color balance, options for blending images, shadows and bevels, filters such as sharpening and blurring.[9]Reviewer Kris Fong of MacWorld magazine described some "quirkiness with certain tools and layers" and noted that it only works with certain file formats such as JPEG, PNG and GIF formats, and only allows users to save images in the JPEG and PNG formats,[9] as well as an internal file format called Sumo files.

There is a support community called sumo.app with community features, such as uploading, commenting on, and rating images, which are accessible to those with accounts. There is a paid professional version of the software called Sumo Pro which activates features such as a downloadable version of the software.

If you're looking for a free place to make a digital drawing or edit images, Sumopaint is a great option! The web-based image editor is similar to Photoshop and Pixlr, and its free version gives users access to many advanced tools. This wikiHow article will teach you how to use Sumopaint from a web browser.

But instead of ordering a completely pre-configured washer, as it is usually the case, we give you the opportunity to equip your own spray gun washer with various functions according to your individual needs.

The basic module of the S.U.M.O. consists of two compact, independent cleaning rooms, includes the familiar powerful B-TEC extraction system for both sides of the machine and an universal blow-off gun.

Opening of the spray / paint guns by a trigger clamp takes place inside the gun washer after the gun sits perfectly on the cleaning nozzle.

Of course connected to air by the help of the B-TEC air flow system.

Sumopaint operates much like Photoshop. Kids can crop, color, or otherwise edit preexisting photos or draw a new picture with the imaging application. Like Photoshop, Sumopaint also offers a smudge tool, text tool, and eyedropper tool to help users match colors in different parts of an image; users can also adjust the hue levels in a photo or run an image through filters to create blurring, pixilation, and other effects.

The biggest difference between the two? Photoshop retails for several hundred dollars, and Sumopaint is available for free. (The manufacturer also offers two paid lifetime license versions with extra features and no ads for $9 and $19.) A few Sumopaint tools are only available in the paid versions; however, kids can access enough editing tools for free to create dozens of unique effects.

Kids should enjoy playing around with the tool, which they'll probably be able to figure out without much instruction. They'll feel in control of the process with dozens of image-altering options to choose from.

There's not much direct instruction on design principles, art history, or anything else academic. Kids will instead learn a few broader concepts, including certain artistic treatments' effect, expressing yourself, and being creative.

Sumopaint is great as an alternative to GIMP or photoshop style programs. It does have three main issues. The first is that it often thinks you have an area selected even when you don't and as such won't let you draw or edit outside of the supposed selection, we fix this by selecting the lasso tool and clicking anywhere in the image to de-select. Second the saving process is somewhat tricky, our computers do not recognize a .sumo extension as valid so it often gets deleted when students are titling work, and then wont open next class as it has no extension. Last is more a student issue than a sumopaint issue, students love the symetry tool and if not watched can really lose a lot of time with it, and overuse it as a tool. extra issue, it is not possible to edit text once you have left that specific text box.
