width: 350px;
height: 50px;
position: fixed;

JavaScript Code:

const canvas = document.getElementById("canvas")
canvas.height = window.innerHeight
canvas.width = window.innerWidth

const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d")

let prevX = null
let prevY = null

ctx.lineWidth = 5

let draw = false

let clrs = document.querySelectorAll(".clr")
clrs = Array.from(clrs)
clrs.forEach(clr => {
clr.addEventListener("click", () => {
ctx.strokeStyle = clr.dataset.clr
})
})

let clearBtn = document.querySelector(".clear")
clearBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)
})

// Saving drawing as image
let saveBtn = document.querySelector(".save")
saveBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
let data = canvas.toDataURL("imag/png")
let a = document.createElement("a")
a.href = data
// what ever name you specify here
// the image will be saved as that name
a.download = "sketch1.png"
a.click()
})

window.addEventListener("mousedown", (e) => draw = true)
window.addEventListener("mouseup", (e) => draw = false)

window.addEventListener("mousemove", (e) => {
if(prevX == null || prevY == null || !draw){
prevX = e.clientX
prevY = e.clientY
return
}

let currentX = e.clientX
let currentY = e.clientY

ctx.beginPath()
ctx.moveTo(prevX, prevY)
ctx.lineTo(currentX, currentY)
ctx.stroke()

prevX = currentX
prevY = currentY
})
