Drawing with Line Texture

 

In Toon Boom Animate, you can use the Brush tool to draw with bitmap textured lines.

In the Brush Tool Properties view, you will find a series of default textured brushes but you can also create your own collection by importing either PSD or TGA files in the Pen list.

The textured brush only work with the Brush tool. It does not work with the Pencil, Line, Ellipse, Polyline or Rectangle tools.
