# Reshaping Brush Strokes

When you use the Brush, Toon Boom Studio creates a shape that is surrounded by points, creating what we call a contour line. Toon Boom Studio also creates contour lines when you paint an enclosed shape. You can reshape either Brush lines or painted zones with the Contour Editor.

To change the shape of a brush stroke:

1. From the Tools > Drawing Tools menu or Drawing Tools toolbar, select the Contour Editor and click the shape you want to modify.

2. To change the shape of the brush stroke, click one of the points drag it to a new position.

| If you want to create closed zones as you reshape your drawing objects, use the Snap to Contour option. Select Tools > Snap to Contour to enable this option.

3. Drag one of the curve handles to adjust the curve of the line. You can use these curve handles to change the amount of curve in the line between the current point and two point on either side.

4. To remove the angles on the handles, press [Command] and click the point.
