1. A computer-based method of wrapping a two-dimensional (2D) sketch onto a three-dimensional (3D) model, the method comprising:
placing the 2D sketch onto a 2D grid;
transforming the 2D grid to an initial location relative to the 3D model;
mapping the 2D grid onto the 3D model to produce a 3D grid wrapped around the 3D model;
evaluating the 2D sketch onto the 3D grid to produce a 3D image wrapped around the 3D model, wherein the 3D image wrapped around the 3D model corresponds to the 2D sketch; and
creating one or more curves on the 3D model by projecting the 3D image onto the 3D model.
