How do you make the pen draw

pen down script and then somehow make the sprite move, so the pen moves, and it draws

ecarmody

then how do you make it so the pen can only draw in a specific area

GalleonCloak6764

when green flag clicked
pen down
move (moving along and drawing a straight line) steps
turn ccw (change direction) degrees
glide (still 'drawing') secs to x: (a random place) y: (a random place)

See above. Pen down means start drawing and pen up means stop drawing. The motion blocks move the sprite the pen is on around, and therefore the pen around.
Hope this helped!
Note: the red and orange thingies are just automatically put on when I was using the scratch blocks - they aren't needed to draw.

The pen can only draw on the background so if you have a sprite or sprites representing the other areas the drawing is automatically restricted.

I use the pen frequently and to do so, set the icon as a crosshair, which is immediately set to hidden on starting as there is no need to view it.

when green flag clicked
hide

To use the pen, the code is often along the lines of this…

clear
set pen color to [#00ffff]
set pen size to (2)
set [counter] to [0]
go to x: ((100) * ([sin] of (counter))) y: ((100) * ([cos] of (counter)))
pen down
repeat (100)
    change [counter] by (27)
    go to x: ((100) * ([sin] of (counter))) y: ((100) * ([cos] of (counter)))
end
pen up

This should draw an insta-scribble on the screen.

You can do

when green flag clicked
pen down
glide (Secs) secs to x: (?) y: (?)
pen up

Hope this helped!

end
turn ccw (15) degrees

If I were making a line, would there be a way to make the line that was drawn fall to the bottom of the screen/ move?

pen up= drawing then how do you make it so the pen can only  draw in a specific area
pen up=not drawing
the pen is at the sprite. use basic motion blocks.

The pen blocks are now in an extension which you load from the bottom left of the blocks section.
