Hello
I am making a coloring book app and am having trouble with having the canvas draw under an image. I am trying to make it so you can color in the image. The canvas works fine by itself but if I try adding a transparent image on top, it doesn’t work. I’ve tried making a second stage with an image as its background, as well as a second canvas with an image as its background.
Any advice or help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I think you would need the canvas on top of an image but you would need this issue resolved as well: [Draw on photograph taken - #13 by matt\_conroy](https://community.thunkable.com/t/draw-on-photograph-taken/2754057/13).

I figured it out! I just needed to use a fixed Sprite Type that gets created over my canvas allowing users to draw behind the outline and fill in the image.

Thank you for your help. I ended up finding a simple solution by adding a Sprite overtop my canvas allowing the image to be in front and the drawing behind it. Now I can color in the outline without coloring over it.
