                                    <p align="left">When an artist creates a 
                                    sketch, they render shading with different 
                                    degrees of pressure on strokes, and varying 
                                    the direction of the stroke, most commonly 
                                    in crossways directions in areas of shade. 
                                    The Sketcher plugin achieves the same thing 
                                    by applying up to seven separate layers 
                                    (<font color="maroon">levels</font>) of 
                                    pencil strokes. Each level applies an external 
                                    image of strokes (termed a <font color="maroon">Stroke 
                                    Map</font>) with settings determining how 
                                    the strokes are applied. Consider this small
