How to Use LM Draw: Draw With Layers, Stylus Controls, and Clean Export
Set the canvas, draw with brush controls, add shapes and typography, manage layers and opacity, then export artwork for books, scripts, podcasts, websites, and other LM projects.
Built for Illustrators, writers, filmmakers, podcasters, churches, and creators who need approachable layered graphics.
You will create a layered graphic that remains editable while you work and can be exported for use in other creative projects.
Before you start
LM Draw is designed for practical layered illustration without the weight of a giant design suite. Start with the final use in mind so the canvas size and composition make sense.
Step 1: Set the canvas for the destination
Choose the width, height, and background based on where the artwork will live: book, podcast square, storyboard, website, social graphic, or another project.
Step 2: Draw with the appropriate brush settings
Choose brush size, opacity, and color, then use mouse, touch, or stylus-oriented input according to the device you are on.
Step 3: Use shapes and typography for structure
Add lines, rectangles, ellipses, text, and other supported elements when they help the composition stay precise.
Step 4: Build the artwork in layers
Keep major elements on separate named layers so you can change visibility, order, and opacity without flattening the project too early.
Step 5: Review the image at final viewing size
Zoom out and inspect the composition at the size another person will actually see it. Small graphics need stronger hierarchy than large working canvases.
Step 6: Export a high-quality final
Use the available PNG or JPEG export path, then bring the result into the LM project that needs it while keeping the layered original for future changes.
Make the workflow better
Use separate layers for anything you may want to move later.
Name layers before the project becomes complicated.
Check legibility at the final output size.
Export a copy; keep the editable original project.
