Toon Boom Storyboard PRO 4.2 Windows

In Storyboard Pro, you now can draw directly in the software using bitmap drawing tools. In addition to the time-proven vector tools, you can draw with different styles and textures for full artistic freedom.

Create brushes with imported textures, and adjust a variety of parameters like flow, hardness, spacing, and many others to get a custom look.

When you create a bitmap drawing layer and use the bitmap tools on this layer, you are drawing with the raw pixels instead of drawing with vector strokes. This behaves more like when you draw with a pencil on paper. If you want to erase part of the drawing, just use the eraser tool.

Bitmap layers allow you to create 2D graphics. The bitmap lines you create are made of pixels on a grid that resemble tiny dots, which altogether make up the drawing you are creating or artwork you are importing. Bitmap graphics impart a more natural and soft look to your work. The color is defined on a pixel-by-pixel basis.

Drawing on a bitmap layer allows you to draw in a similar way to how you would in a bitmap tool like Photoshop or Painter. Although you cannot modify the position of the lines after you draw them, you can draw and erase them. Instead of drawing lines, you are laying down the individual pixels. This gives you finer control over the brush itself, as well as the shading and color of the drawing. However, the strokes cannot be edited with the Contour Editor or Perspective tool. It is more efficient for storing texture information than a textured brush on a vector layer, so if you are creating drawings with a lot of texture, this may be a better option.
