The turtle module provides turtle graphics primitives, in both object-oriented and procedure-oriented ways. Because it uses Tkinter for the underlying graphics, it needs a version of Python installed with Tk support.

turtle.down()

The turtle.down() method is used to pull back the pen down on the screen. It gives drawing on moving to another position or direction. 

turtle.down() or turtle.pd() or turtle.pendown()

Here, this method can be called with three names as written above i.e; it has Aliases: pendown | pd | down. There is no argument required for this method.

Below is the implementation of the above method with some examples :

# forward the turtle (no drawing)
turtle.forward(50)
  
# down the turtle
