In Toon Boom Studio, you draw using the Drawing View, Color Palette tab and Pen tab. You can use either the Exposure Sheet or the Timeline to import, manage and work out the timing of your content.
Drawing View
Use the Drawing View to draw and ink & paint your animated content.
You can use the Onion Skin to see all of the drawings in a layer and the
Auto Light Table to see all of the drawings in a frame.
Color Palette tab
Use the Color Palette tab to build color swatches for your scenes.
With Toon Boom Studio you can build different palettes for each character and prop in your scene. You can even create palette styles, which allow you to tint all of the swatches in a palette. When you switch between palette styles, Toon Boom Studio automatically repaints zones filled with the new color value.
Pen tab
Use the Pen tab to organize different pen styles.
Toon Boom Studio can create variable width strokes based on the amount of pressure you apply when drawing with a graphic tablet and pen.
Exposure Sheet
Use the Exposure Sheet to organize the content of your scenes and set up their timing.
You can use the Exposure Sheet to import image and sound files. From sound files, you can generate lip charts, which you can use to lip sync your animations.
