In this box is lock alpha
button, ok?

To pick a color, you can pick from the rainbowy structure on the right, and to control its lightness you have the big square in the middle.

Stroke Box

You can choose if you want draw by hand(mouse), draw straight lines or draw curly lines.

save colors you are using.
I say currently because they
won't be there after you save
it and leave the oekaki
application.

Misc Box

Everything is said, 100% zoom means that it
automatically zooms back to 100%.

Tools Options Box

You can control a few things in
this box. For mouse users you
can adjust brush size, color
(Makes your strokes lighter,
good for layering), scattering,
the smoothness of your lines
and what type of brush you
want. Tablet users can also
adjust what mouse users can as
well as their opacity and if they
want pen pressure in a certain
area (The filled/unfilled circle)

Layers Box

Just like the original Chibipaint,
you can add or remove layers.
You can also tick the lock alpha
box to only color inside what is
existing on whichever layer you
are on. You can also adjust the
opacity of the layers (This is
useful for shading) or you can
adjust the blending mode of the
layer, which is automatically set
on Normal.

Color Box

You can pick from a rainbow of colors on the right and adjust its hue and saturation in the big square box in the middle. You can input hex colors by clicking the bottom rectangle which shows which color you are currently using.

Stroke Box

Just like ChibiPaint, this adjust how you want to draw. From left to right; you can adjust if you want to draw by freehand, straight lines or curved lines.

Misc Box

Self explanatory, you can zoom into your
drawing or zoom out, undo, redo
and save your picture. You can zoom out
100% to go back to what it looks like
normally.

Color Swatches Box

You can quickly access
colors you might want
to use later on in this
box. If you want to
add a color in simply
click the + button. You
can also import color
swatches into that box
from your machine or
even save them to your
machine if wanted.

Texture Box

You can pick from an array of textures here to add to your drawing if wanted.

This is in the top left corner and you can use to to do various things such as saving or
adding noise.

Tools Box

Tools Box Contents
By every horizontal line; "Select", "Move", "Fill", "Gradient", "Color Picker", "Rotate", "Pencil", "Pen", "Airbrush", "Watercolor", "Eraser", "Soft Eraser", "Smudge", "Blender", "Dodge", "Burn" and "Blur".

Explanation
The select tool selects a rectangular area of your drawing and you can color it in or move it, the move tool moves whatever is on your layer, the fill tool fills in your drawing, the gradient tool creates a gradient blend between 2 colors, the color picker picks a color off wherever you put it, the rotate tool rotates your canvas, the pencil tool and pen tool are similar in that you can draw with both (The pencil tool being slightly sketchier while the pen tool is smoother), the airbrush tool lets you draw with a 'soft' pen, the water color tool takes the color your using and blends it when used, the eraser tool erases your drawing where you put it, the soft erase does the same thing as the eraser except makes it 'softer' (Like the airbrush), the smudge tool drags the color where you use it, the blender tool blends colors in your drawing, the dodge tool creates more saturated colors where you put it, the burn tool creates darker colors where you put it and the blur tool blurs your drawing.

Phew! That's a long explanation, you get a cookie if you read the whole thing. (:

Sorry if that just confused you DX

`nievegato wrote:Well,you have to click the pen tool,and set it to round pixelated.Then zoom in enough so that you can see every pixel and start to draw.Pixel drawing is usually small and detailed,though I have seen people how draw large pictures with pixel lines and coloring.

You can also use a black, or experament colour brushes to create shading. Simply start a new layer and set the opactity to around 30. This can be edited to how you like it, and how dark you like it. Draw around where you would normaly shade. It should come out looking like simple shading, you can use the blur tool, located in ''Effects" then "blur". Or you could use the blur tool to get it more accurate.

Marquee Moony wrote:Basically what you do is you color your shading, any color you want (though something close to gray usually works best), then set the layer to "Multiply" using the drop-down list (Where it was "Normal") at the top of the layers box.

Add all the layers you want (Background, Color, Lines, etc...And draw lines!), take different colored pen/brush than the background and fill in the place inside of the lines. After you did that, you can click lock alpha button (When color layer is selected.) and careless go all over the place (Actually, you can color without going outside the lines.).

I made a tutorial if you still don't get it. It's an editable so give it a try if you want. :3
