Symmetry

Using a mirror effect, the Symmetry Tool on Drawing Desk replicates every detail you draw on your canvas. This way, you can now create symmetrical and well-balanced artwork in no time!

Additionally, the Symmetry Tool also includes several options, so that you can mirror your work at various angles and positions too!
