# Painting Zones in Your Drawings

To paint or unpaint the zones in your drawings, you use the Toon Boom Studio painting tools. These tools let you fill closed zones with a solid or gradient color, or a bitmap texture . You can choose colors from the color palette, or an existing line or zone.

When you paint a zone in your drawing, you add color to that zone, and assign a color swatch to it. This lets you make color changes to your drawings without repainting each time.

You have two choices when painting zones with color.

- You can use the Paint tool to fill zones with color or to change the color of a zone that is already painted.
- You can use the Paint Unpainted tool to paint only zones that have no color. This tool allows you to quickly paint many zones with the same color while not changing the color of zones that have already been painted.
