Are you looking to make your presentation more interesting? Line drawings are one element that can add some visual interest to your presentation.
To add a line drawing to your presentation, you need to know how. In this article, we’ll cover how to draw on Google Slides and some top Google Slides presentation templates.
What Is Line Art?
According to artsandculture.google.com,
“Line art or line drawing is any image that consists of district straight or curved lines placed against a background...to represent two-dimensional or three-dimensional objects.”
Line art is a simple form of art. It can be used to look like doodles or sketches.

Everything in this template is completely editable, from the colors to the graphics. The design style is modern and minimal. So the template can work for any presentation theme. Before you start editing your template, read this tutorial:
How to Draw a Line
The first step towards drawing line art in Google Slides is drawing a line. Here’s how:
1. Line Button
Once you know how to insert a drawing in Google Slides, it's easy. Start by clicking on the Line button (it looks like a line) in the ribbon. When you click on this button, a menu drops down. From this menu, choose the kind of line that you want.
2. Draw Your Line
Once you’ve chosen the option that you want, your cursor turns into a cross. Drag your cursor in the shape that you want to make. The shape you’ve created then turns into a line.
How to Change the Line Color
After drawing on Google Slides, you may want to change the color and thickness of the line you drew. Here’s how:
1. How to Change the Line Color
Start by selecting the line that you want to change the color of. Next, click on the Line Color button (it looks like a pencil above a line) in the ribbon. When you click on this button, a color menu appears. From the color menu, select the color that you want.
2. How to Change the Line Thickness
If you want to change the thickness of the line that you drew in Google Slides, you can.

- Click on the Line Weight button (it looks like three lines of varying widths) in the ribbon. When you click on this button, a menu appears where you can choose the thickness of your line.
How to Draw a Shape
Drawing a shape and drawing a line have similar steps. Here’s how to draw in Google Slides:
1. Shape Button
The first step in drawing a shape is to click on the Shape button (it looks like a circle and a square) in the ribbon.
When you click on this button, a menu appears. From this menu, choose the shape that you want. If you hover over the shape option, a menu appears where you can choose even more shapes.
2. Draw Your Shape
After selecting your shape, click where you want the shape to be and draw a diagonal line. Your shape appears. You can use the handles to adjust the size of your shape.
How to Add an Image to Google Slides
If you aren’t good at drawing or just want to add a stock image, you can do that too. Here’s how to insert a drawing in Google Slides:
1. Choose an Image
Envato Elements has graphics that look like you drew them by hand.
2. Insert an Image
After you’ve chosen a slide to which you want to add your graphic, click on the Insert option in the toolbar above the ribbon. When you click on Insert, a menu drops down. From the drop-down menu, select Image.
When Image is selected, another menu appears. Choose the right option based on where your file is saved.
