Put art in your panels: upload, draw and adjust

Every picture in the Studio is yours: uploaded or drawn here. The image tools change how your own pixels look — there is no image generation.

Before you start

Upload art

1. Select a panel

   With Select, click the panel.

2. Upload

   Under Art, press Upload an image. With one panel selected, it drops straight in.

3. Reuse it

   Your series' art collects on the shelf under it; select panels and click a thumbnail to fill them.

4. Frame it

   Under Art in this panel, set Zoom and Rotate, and pan with the arrows. Remove art empties the panel.

Draw a panel

1. Open Drawing

   With one panel selected, press Draw this panel. A drawing canvas opens in the panel's shape.

2. Pick a tool

   Under Tools: Brush, Ink, Eraser, Fill, Line, Rectangle or Ellipse. Set the Colour and Size. A stylus varies the line with pressure.

3. Use layers

   Under Layers, Add up to 8 and hide or clear each. To trace, pick an upload under Reference — it shows faintly behind and is never saved.

4. Use it

   Press Use in this panel. The layers flatten into the panel's image.

Adjust the image

Under Image tools, with a panel selected: Black & white, then Exposure, Contrast, Saturation, Ink boost, Blur, Halftone, Screentone, Vignette and Posterize. They apply in a fixed order, and your original file is never changed; Reset clears them.

If something's off

“That file is over the 25 MB limit.”

Export it smaller — the page is drawn at 1600 × 2400 anyway.

Pasting an image does nothing

The Studio doesn't take pasted or dragged images yet. Use Upload an image.

Drawing has no undo

Draw on a new layer, so a slip can be cleared without losing the rest.
