Colour in help

Post by petefelstead »

Hi,

A student of mine wants to colour in an area of her artwork without drawing extra lines.
I have tried using the magic wand selection tool but can't get it to only select the relevant area.
Attached are the screen shots from the project.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks!

Pete

In the old analogue days we did that with a "self-ink line" as it was called: a line the colour of the fill following the contour of the table.

You can do that easier in TVP: just create a new layer and draw a line along the table. Switch off all layers except line art, table line, and colouring layer. Set fill mode to "display" and fill those areas first in all frames, then switch off the table line layer and fill in the rest.

TVP 11.0 and 11.7 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3

Select the area you want to color. Then use whatever tool you want to colorise : pen, brush, flood ;)

Only the selected area will be painted.
