Drawing on top of something erases it

(screenshots below)I was wondering if there was a way to access the canvas layers because it seems that adobe puts all the drawings into one layer.

(Also please keep in mind I am a newbie so I could easily be screwing up)

Hi mate,

If you want to draw shapes on the same layer without them intersecting, enable Object Drawing mode. Then each brush stroke will become a separate Drawing Object and you will be able to retain the ones underneath intact.

Alternatively, you can create as many layers as you like with the little + button at the top left of the timeline and place your strokes on different layers.
