The Brush Tool has been enhanced in Animate and I'm just going to walk you through some of the ways you can control the brush now.

So, with the brush selected in the Properties panel, you'll see I have a cool slider for selecting the Size of the brush.

And not only that, I have a slider for setting the Minimum Size of the brush.

So, now when I draw, I'm making good use of that pressure sensitivity.

So, if I increase the Size of the brush, and you know, play around with the Minimum Size of the brush, you can see how that plays an effect on the stroke.

And so, what I want to do is actually I'm going to turn on Object drawing mode and I'm going to mix a little bit of transparency into this black color.

I'm going to do this because what I want to do is just sketch out something first.

And I kind of like to draw this way if I'm just sketching something.

So, let's just create a character.

And this is for me with the transparency mixed in, it kind of gives that nice feel of like using a pencil.

Especially when you have the combination of alpha and Object drawing mode on you can see the layering of transparency.

So, I've got a nice little character roughed out here.

And so now what I would like to do is actually go and create on Frame 2 a blank keyframe.

I'm just going to hit F7 and then turn on onion skin.

And now, I can see a ghost of my image and I'm going to do sort of a cleanup version of this drawing.

I'm going to remove the alpha transparency.

I like the Brush Size of 8 with the Minimum Size of 0.

And if I want to save this as a preset, I can just click this little plus button here.

And that saves this as a preset.

I continue to press the plus button and those will be saved as presets and use them later just by clicking on them.

So now, I'm going to redraw and clean up my drawing in Frame 2.

I'm going to turn off Object drawing, and I do everything in this one frame.

I might make a few design changes along the way, but for the most part, I'm going to just stick to the drawing at hand as we have it.

So now, what I want to do is make sure the Brush is selected which it is and the sub-selection tool, instead of painting normal as you'll see here, I'm going to select Paint Behind.

I'm going to make a pretty big brush and I'm just going to actually freehand paint this.

And by choosing Paint Under, it's painting underneath the existing strokes.

And again, with the Brush Tool selected the sub-selection tool that we want to use is Paint Inside.

And what this is going to allow me to do is, once I click down on the existing fill color, wherever I paint, it's only going to paint inside that fill color.

So, this is a nice handy quick way to add some shadows and shading to characters.

And now let's mix a little color for her eyes.

And while this is selected, let's add a little bit of depth to her eyes.

Again, Brush Tool.

I am going to Paint Inside just like that.

Let's mix in a nice dark brown, maybe a little bit of red in there.

Make a nice big brush.

Let's make sure we're painting behind.

Now we can be pretty loose.

Now, let's add a little bit of depth to her hair.

So, let's make some highlights, just mix a lighter version of that.

Brush Tool is selected, and let's say, let's Paint Inside as our sub-selection.

Actually, here's another cool sub-selection feature.

If we select the Brush, let's choose as a sub-selection Paint Selection, and then select just the hair fill.

Now, whatever we paint, we will only paint inside the color that is selected.

And this time, I am going to go back to painting inside.

So, what I'm going to do is, select this shape, hold down Shift and select a little bit more of that fill, grab the Paint Brush Tool and then I'm going to choose as my sub-selection Paint Selection.

Now, I can draw her eyebrows in without worrying of an overlapping the line of her hair right there.

And that's just some of the ways you can use the Brush Tool to draw or paint inside of Animate.
