One feature that I have seen in other painting apps such as Gimp, Krita and others is this
warp tool that allows you to warp objects and subjects in your painting without
redrawing or awkward layer cutouts and transforming.

Here are two video examples that explain how the feature would work...

Use cases:

Drawings of human figures and their pose can be altered easily without the need
for major repainting of the subject.

The composition of a scene can be adjusted to suit the painter's needs without
any daunting reworking of the illustration.

Quick variations of a preliminary sketch can be created to allow the illustrator
to test out various compositions. The list is endless!...

As the examples in the videos are open source apps, maybe some of the code
needed could be accessible to developers? Post your thoughts :)

This and a few other tools (curves, levels, adjustment layers, gradient mapping) are the ones I'm most missing from other software packages.
