Workflow 2: Start with a sketch
In Corel Painter, you can quickly create a sketch of a photo so you can use it as a guide for applying color.
To maintain the integrity of the sketch, you should apply color to layers, and not directly to the sketch. In
addition, depending on the desired effect, using layers gives you the option of incorporating the sketch
markings in the final image. If you don’t want the sketch to be visible in the final image, you can delete the
sketch by clearing the canvas. When you’re done, you can drop the layers to the canvas.
