Color is being blocked from areas of my animation

Post by BruceM »

I'm having another attack of this problem, but it doesn't appear to be related to having "papers" turned on.. I'm attempting to color an animated segment and the color isn't taking to some areas. When I scribble in with a color, this is what I'm getting (see attachment).

Does anyone have a thought on what is causing this?

Hmm, looks like you may have white on your lineart layer? If you press shift+b (default shortcut for Toggle Background mode) it will go through transparent > white > black for your alpha level and that will show if you have any white on the lineart layer(turn that layer on/off after. It is also located on the bottom left of the timeline box, where it says "background," a dropdown menu will give you the option to set it to each of the fore mentioned options.

Happens to me all the time. Mostly it's some kind of masking turned on:
- preserve alpha on the actual layer
- mask active on another layer
The last icon in the main panel, bottom row right, indicates wether you have any mask or selection active, and if you click it, de-activates it.

Or, as already mentioned, I've painted something white unintentionally on a higher layer which is just blocking the sight.
