Timeline: Stop the moment!
The author of this tutorial is Irina Vesnina (Russia).
Would you like to get several variants of your resulting image with just a single mouse click? In the latest versions of Sketch it’s possible to use the Timeline feature to create a list of intermediate shots which represent different stages of image processing - from a semi-processed drawing to a practically finished work, from a quick rough sketch to a realistic high-detail painting. Using the same parameters, you can get a variety of art styles to choose from!
Note: The Timeline is available for the advanced types of the licenses (Home Deluxe and Business).
