1# Applying Custom Drawing in the Widget
2
3
4You can apply custom drawing in your ArkTS widget to create a more vibrant experience. Use the [\<Canvas>](../reference/apis-arkui/arkui-ts/ts-components-canvas-canvas.md) component to create a canvas on the widget, and then use the [CanvasRenderingContext2D](../reference/apis-arkui/arkui-ts/ts-canvasrenderingcontext2d.md) object to draw custom graphics on the canvas. The following code snippet draws a smiling face in the center of a canvas.

8@Component
9struct CustomCanvasDrawingCard {
10  private canvasWidth: number = 0;
11  private canvasHeight: number = 0;
12  // Initialize CanvasRenderingContext2D and RenderingContextSettings.
13  private settings: RenderingContextSettings = new RenderingContextSettings(true);
14  private context: CanvasRenderingContext2D = new CanvasRenderingContext2D(this.settings);
