If you’re not familiar with Google Slides, you may not know how to insert a drawing in Google Slides.
However, you can add a drawing without breaking a sweat if you know the proper steps.
You can insert drawings into your Google Slides in two simple methods. Going to the Google Slides URL and drawing there is the first option.
The second is to draw on a professional drawing tool like Google Drawings or Corel Draw and later insert the image on Google Slides. Although the first method seems easier, the second method is ideal.
We will be taking a look at these two methods in this article.
How To Insert A Drawing In Google Slides
