Detailed Description

Sketch Pad (Python + Tkinter) is a fully interactive digital drawing application designed to give users a smooth and creative sketching experience. Built using Tkinter for the graphical interface and Pillow (PIL) for image handling, this project demonstrates advanced event handling, UI structuring, and state management concepts in Python.

The application includes:

  • 🎨 Free Drawing Mode – Create freehand sketches with adjustable brush size.

  • 🟦 Shape Tools – Draw perfect lines, rectangles, and ovals.

  • 🧽 Eraser Mode – Switch easily between drawing and erasing.

  • 🧭 Undo/Redo Functionality – Step backward or forward without losing progress.

  • 💾 Save Feature – Export your artwork as a PNG image using the ImageGrab module.

  • 🌈 Color Picker – Choose custom brush colors for better creativity.

  • 🧰 User-Friendly Controls – Built with intuitive buttons and sliders for easy use.

This project is an excellent example for students learning GUI design, event-driven programming, and user experience principles using Python. It can be extended further into a digital art application or educational drawing tool.
