Python Turtle Graphics Drawing and Filling Shapes - Python Beginners Tutorial Learn Python Fast

Subscribe to our Channel to get regular Video Lessons in Python Programming.

Because we are a slow talker, we recommend you use the YouTube "Tools Cog" on the player bar to watch the video at a speed of 1.5x or even 1.75x.

We will be commencing our Python Programming Journey by Drawing Shapes and Repeating Patterns.

In this Lesson we learn to draw Lines, Squares, Triangles, Hexagons, and Octagons.

You do not have to use PyScripter for our Course. All of the program code will run in Python 3.7 or higher.
So if you want to use other popular Python IDE’s like PyCharm or MU, that will be okay.

In this Python Lesson we specifically learn:

- Setting up PyScripter for doing Turtle Graphics
- Drawing a Line in Python
- Dealing with Program Crashes
- Changing Line Colors and Hiding the Turtle
- Turtle Program to Draw a Square
- Breaking down the Square into subroutine Defs
- Using a For...Next Repeats Loop for Square Sides
- How to Change Background Color
- Hiding the Turtle while it Draws
- Changing the Turtle Drawing Speed
- Changing Turtle Drawing Board Size
- How to Fill shapes with Colors
- Challenge Tasks: Triangles, Octagon, Dodecagon

The learning here will be essential for future Python Drawing lessons we will be progressively adding to our Channel.

Because we are a slow talker, we recommend you use the YouTube "Tools Cog" on the player bar to watch the video at a speed of 1.5x or even 1.75x.

If you are a Teacher watching this video we suggest you click the downloads link below and get all of the lesson materials for your students.

Give these resources to your students and we think you will find that some of them will "get it" very quickly. The other students need to watch this video which goes through everything in full detail slowly step by step with repetition of examples.

This is a detailed video, if you want to fast track learning, then just Download and quickly work through the PDF of Step by Step Instructions using the Link given further down below.

There is also a second downloadable PDF giving all of the detailed Step by Step Instructions shown in this video.

Then for anything you do not fully understand in these two documents, simply use the Timeline Index below to go and watch the relevant section of Video explanation.

If you have the time it will be extremely beneficial to watch the entire video to maximize learning outcomes.
