Using the Painting Tools
The Paint 
tool is the main tool for painting your drawings. Other painting tools are also available to make your painting process easier and faster.
The painting tools only paint closed zones. If you have gaps in your lines, you must close them using either the Brush, Pencil, Close Gap tools or the Automatic Close Gap option.

Painting with the Paint Unpainted Tool
The Paint Unpainted tool only paints empty zones. Any line or filled zone remains unchanged. For example, if you are painting a cow or a leopard, this tool is very useful when it is time to paint all the spots on the body. Instead of trying to click in each one of them, you can draw a large selection around the body to paint all the spots at once. All the empty zones are painted and all the filled zones remain untouched.

| 1. | In the Timeline or Exposure Sheet view, select a drawing to paint. |
