About the Onion Skin
T-SBFND-008-013
Using Onion Skin, you can display the outlines of the previous or next panels as semi-transparent overlays in the current panel, to use them as references for your artwork.
You can display the artwork from one or several panels before and after the current panel as Onion Skin, allowing you to decide how much of the artwork surrounding the current panel to use as reference.
TIP: By default, previous drawings appear in a shade of red and next drawings are displayed in green. You can change the display colours of onion skinned drawings in the Colours tab of the Preferences dialog box—see Colours Preferences .
