What you can do
Extract Sketch is useful when you have a drawing, line-art scan, doodle, or illustrated detail on a plain background and want a clean reusable asset.
Instead of manually tracing edges, you can remove the background and keep the original lines, colored details, and enclosed white areas where they matter.
