I think it would be nice to have layers for the pen. This would allow you to daw and stamp behind or in front of already placed pen (the drawing tools in Scratch). There are three blocks I think would be needed for this:

set pen layer to ()
change pen layer by ()
if <(pen layer) = [-2]>
pen down
End

The first block would set the layer. The default is 0. So let's say that the layer is 0 and you draw with the pen. Then you set the layer to -1 like this:

set pen layer to (-1)

If you draw then, the drawing will appear behind the previous drawing. If the layer was 1 it would appear in front. Thanks!

This is a good idea but I think it would confuse new users...

THIS IS SOOO NEEDED. Atleast some kind of pen layer control is... I've suggested pen buffers before (they could be better named...)

Support! I sometimes don't want sprites automatically stamping in front.

Support.

Also, maybe there could be blocks like:

Combine pen layers
Combine pen layer [1] and pen layer [2]
Name pen layer [2] as [Cat]
Clear pen layer [1]
