Hello  
I think it would be a great feature to get a function to create/scan/trace a picture and create a vector from a picture  
Many softwares have this function and would cut drawing times alot.

Added pictures to show the idea.

First picture is just a guitar body where i wanted to draw a outline around it.

Second picture is after i had to use splinetool to draw the outline.

With a create vector / trace vectors button it would go super fast
