Drawing with Bitmap Brushes
T-LAY-001-003
You can use the Brush tool to draw on bitmap layers.
How to draw with bitmap brushes
- In the Timeline view, add a bitmap drawing layer.
- In the Tools toolbar, select the Brush
tool or press Alt + B.
- In the Colour view, select a colour.
- To switch the bitmap colour picker from HSV to RGB, in the Colour view menu, select Colour > Bitmap Colour Sliders > HSV Sliders or RGB Sliders. You can also right-click on the colour sliders and select RGB Sliders or HSV Sliders.
Although you can use colours from your colour palette to paint on a bitmap layer, colours used in a bitmap drawing layer are not linked to their colour swatch in the palette. This means that, contrary to vector drawing, updating the colours in your colour palette will not update your bitmap drawings with the new colours.
- In the Camera or Drawing view, start drawing.
