Symmetry Drawing

What This Feature Does

Symmetry drawing allows you to draw on one side while the other side automatically generates corresponding content. It's ideal for creating symmetrical works such as avatars, icons, wings, patterns, etc., whether left-right or top-bottom.

Where to Access It

In the advanced editor, find the symmetry-related buttons on the right-side auxiliary tools panel.

  1. Click the horizontal symmetry button.
  2. Draw on one side of the canvas.
  3. The corresponding pixels will automatically appear on the other side.

Enable Vertical Symmetry

  1. Click the vertical symmetry button.
  2. Draw on the top or bottom of the canvas.
  3. The other side will automatically generate corresponding content.

Tips

  • Horizontal symmetry is very useful when drawing character avatars.
