Add sketches to comments on 2D images and 3D models

When reviewing a 2D image (.psd, .jpg, .png, .bmp, and .webp) or a 3D model (.fbx, .glb and .gltf), you can draw sketches on it to annotate the specific area you are commenting on. For example, if you are reviewing a character asset and want to change the eye color, you can add a comment instructing the artist to change the eye color and use the pen tool to circle the eye to change on the asset.
