Filling Shapes

Fill with color.

Let's Fill Shapes With Color! 🪣🎨

An empty shape is just an outline. ⬜ But what if we could POUR color inside it? 🪣

The turtle can fill shapes with color, like coloring inside the lines in a coloring book! 🖍️

import turtle

t = turtle.Turtle()
t.forward(80)

To start filling, we say t.begin_fill() BEFORE we draw the shape.

This tells the turtle: 'Get ready to fill what I draw next!' 🪣

import turtle

t = turtle.Turtle()
t.begin_fill()
t.forward(80)
