Excel - Add Sketch
Using the Draw tool, you can add a sketch to the worksheet. Different tools like pens, pencils, and highlighters can be used to create a sketch in free form. The Draw tab is included in Microsoft Excel 2013 and its later Excel versions. By default, it is not showcased in the Excel Ribbon.
However, the major drawback of the Draw tool is that expertise is required to create a complex sketch, which is very time-consuming. Instead, you can use the Online pictures to search for your favorite sketch and add it to the worksheet.
