Every line you add helps guide the result, allowing you to refine, adjust, and explore in real time. Sketch, edit, and iterate without leaving the canvas. Use your preferred drawing setup, whether that is an iPad, display tablet, stylus, or mouse. For an even faster workflow, explore our keyboard shortcuts. ## **Why Draw Inside Vizcom?** Drawing in Vizcom lets you: * Refine form and proportion before rendering * Guide material and surface details with precision * Make quick changes without restarting your generation\ Stay in a fluid back-and-forth between sketch and render Instead of starting from a blank prompt, your drawing defines the form, proportion, and direction of the render. ## **Core Drawing Tools** Vizcom’s tools are designed to feel familiar while keeping you in control. ### **Brush - Keyboard shortcut \[B]** Start with the Brush tool to create line drawings and detailed sketch work Image4 By default, the brush is set up for clean line drawing, but you can adjust: * Brush size * Opacity * Color Modify settings from the top toolbar or by right-clicking on the canvas.
