Painting Several Drawings Simultaneously

You can use the Paint tool on several drawings in the same layer at the same time. When you set up the Paint tool to work on several drawings, if you click on a colour zone in the current drawing to fill it, it will fill any colour zone located where you clicked in other drawings as well. This can be useful if you have several drawings with colour zones that mostly overlap each other, such as in a typical walk cycle, or in any animation where the character mostly stays in place:

There are two approaches to painting several drawings at the same time. Both are options available in the Tool Properties view:

  • Apply to All Frames: When you click on a colour zone in the Camera or Drawing view, it will fill the area you clicked on in every exposed drawing in the current layer.
  • Apply to Onion Skin Range: When you click on a colour zone in the Camera or Drawing view, it will fill the area you clicked on in every drawing that is displayed in the Onion Skin. This method allows you to only fill a specific range of drawings, and allows you to see those drawings in the Camera or Drawing view as you fill them.
