Question

Brush deletes my pencil strokes?

Hey, so Ive noticed an odd thing happening to my drawing on animatecc. I use a combination of pencil and classic brush, but i notice that whenever the classic brush strokes overlap with my pencil lines, the bit of pencil line that is overlapped dissapears. I think this also has somehting to do with the paintbucket tool not recognising fully enclosed areas when they're a combo of pencil and brush, but recognises enclosed areas made from pure brush easily. Can anyone explain these phenomina to me?

    When you're not painting in object mode maybe it's an idea to check these out (paint behind/inside etc). These options is visible when using the brush tool.

     

    When your pencil lines are in objectmode its not possible to 'erase' lines (pencil) with fills (brush). When the brush is in object mode it is possible that the fill is in front of the line. Then you have to rearrange the order within a layer (bring to front, bring to back. Or ctrl up/ down). It's also an idea to work in layers (and maybe in the end 'merge layers')

     the square and circle is object mode. It's visible when you select the brush or pencil.

    Good luck.

    the same thing happens to me with the outlines of shapes like oval and rectangle, but if i use object mode i cant fill cause there different objects. also i cant do eraser object mode so eraser makes the werid cuts aslo
