Drawing Layers
Toon Boom Pencil Check Pro has an option which you can use to paint the lines and the colour fills separately.
A drawing is composed of two layers, a line layer and a colour layer. The colour layer is always placed under the line layer. These layers are accessible in the Drawing view. When you look at your final drawing, you will not see two layers; instead you will see the final composition of the lines and colours.
These two layers are:
•
Line Art•
Colour ArtYou can draw and paint in both layers, but if you prefer working in a single layer, you can do everything in Line Art.
The main advantage of using the Line Art and Colour Art option is so you can repaint the lines easily. If your colour fills are separated from the lines, it allows you to work on the lines without affecting the colour zones.
To toggle between Line Art and Colour Art and enable the Preview mode: 1. To toggle between Line Art and Colour Art:
In the Drawing view bottom toolbar, click on the Colour Art button. In the Drawing view bottom toolbar, click on the Line Art button.
The default keyboard shortcut is [L].
2. To preview the Line and Colour Art at the same time:
