ENnaMGMBIREAL DRAWUpon opening Real-Draw Pro, users canchoose a non-photorealistic rendering(NPR) style that will automatically beapplied to vector illustrations created in thatdocument. NPR styles are artistic stylesthat imitate traditional drawing and paintingmedia, such as watercolor, crayons, oilpaint, sketch and book illustration. Objectswith an NPR style applied to them willappear as if they were created with thatparticular medium. Users can alwayschange the NPR style at a later time andedit objects already created by selecting astyle from the Global NPR side panel.Styles can be applied globally or just toselected objects In addition to NPR styles, Real-Draw Proalso has a wide variety of textures andpatterns. Many of the textures are locatedunder the Color and Texture panel at thebottom of the drawing software screen.Other textures and patterns can be found inthe Color panel, which is located on theside of the screen. These textures havephoto-realistic qualities that resemble hardwood, stones, water and other naturaltextures.We were also impressed by the clip art thatis available on this drawing software. Thesegraphics are set as brush types, so if usershold down the button on their mouse, acontinuous stream of the selected clip artobjects are produced. The objects rangefrom flowers, leaves, trees, Legos, coins and cards. This is not what impressed us,though. We were amazed that each time weclicked to produce a clip art object, theobject was slightly different. Objects haddifferent colors, sizes and rotations. Theleaves were remarkable because each onehad different flaws – brown patches wherethe leaf has started to die or rips where theleaf has been damaged. With the diversity ofclip art available, it is easy for users toquickly create a realistic tree or other vectorobject.At the bottom of the drawing software screen there is a style panel where users can adjustthe texture, transparency, bevel, shadow and other appearance elements of an object.This style panel expands, yet also limits, auser’s options. For example, thetransparency menu gives userstransparency options that would be difficultto create without a preset pattern. Theseinclude striped, marbled and texturedtransparencies.
