As you can see the results are stunning. You have the option to choose “Pen”, “Pencil” or “Pastel”, precision settings for finer output.

But I feel the default works fine, but you can try your own settings, by changing the precision value and the line thickness.

Line settings are for the thickness of the line that is rendered, the lower the number the finer is the output.

Try your own settings, whichever appeals to you most, and save your ART on your disk. You can show off to your friends your work of art.
