Using design aids
DrawPlus provides a number of tools to assist you as you design. Each is
designed to improve stroking lines/brushes, page composition, and focused
design on specific areas on the page.
• Rotating your canvas
• Applying the Rule of Thirds
• Using divine proportions
• Isolating an object
Typically the tools can be switched on or off.
Rotating your canvas
Rotating your canvas helps you to maintain natural flow when drawing freeform
lines, curves, or brush strokes, where the artist uses the wrist as a pivot
(especially when using a pen tablet). If you rotate the canvas by a chosen angle
then the drawing becomes easier—taking advantage of the natural arc of the
drawing hand.
