1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving an input path for creating a stroke;
determining a guide mode of a drawing guide based on a proximity between an input point and an edge of a set of edges of the drawing guide and whether the input point, associated with the input path, is inside the set of edges of the drawing guide or outside the set of edges of the drawing guide; and
drawing the stroke by confining the stroke in accordance with one or more edges of the set of edges of the drawing guide based on the determined guide mode.
