For concept artists and industrial designers, this is a game-changer. You can sketch loosely with pressure-sensitive raster brushes to get your idea down, and then switch to a vector layer to create clean, scalable linework or mechanical shapes—without ever leaving the application. The "Interactive Stroke" system in the vector engine is incredibly smooth, feeling more like natural drawing than the node-pushing tedium often associated with vector art. was the mature release of this hybrid vision
