Preparing the Tool

Configure the settings for coloring with the [Fill] tool.

1Select the [Fill] tool from the [Tool] palette and select [Refer other layers] from the [Sub tool] palette.

2Move the slider in [Area scaling] on the [Tool Property] palette to "1".

In this example, [Area scaling] has been set to a low value because a high value would cause the color to run over. For details on [Area scaling], see " CLIP STUDIO PAINT Tool Setting Guide" → "Settings List" → "Fill".

3Check that [Multiple referring] is turned on on the [Tool Property] palette.

Tips: Layer References

The [Fill] tool usually determines the area to be filled according to the content drawn on the currently selected layer. If separate layers are used for the line drawing and color like in this example, the content drawn on the line drawing layer will be ignored. To overcome this problem, you can set [Multiple referring] on the [Tool Property] palette to reference the content drawn on other layers.

The [Refer other layers] function of the [Fill] tool references all displayed layers when filling. If the draft is displayed, the lines of the draft will also be referenced. Make sure to hide any finished layers that will not be used.
