Video and tutorial card are still on their way.
I’ve made a couple of more usability passes as I’ve been trying to use it for real (the actual reason this exists).
off the top of my head:
- wipe (clear) button
- +/- buttons for incrementing and decrementing the brush and pattern on canvas layers
- other things that I don’t remember
I’ve done a pretty simple sketch of a face and torso where I sketch the rough on one layer, switch to another to outline the face by overpainting, and then switch to a third to add shading by underpainting. It works pretty well.
There will be a learning curve - but (not that this excuses it) most drawing programs with layering, that I know of, have a steep learning curve.
What needs to be added - but the last two, I don’t know if I’ll get to it. It works for my needs and the amount of work to make them functional is way over my annoyance threshold.
- the tutorial
- DONE ~don’t allow C to be activated if there are no active layers~
- DONE ~a “logical lock” - once switched to layer mode, make it ask more when switching to composite mode and vice versa - to protect drawings from being wiped.~
- (maybe, but I probably won’t) a grid widget for globally reordering layers (an overview of the composite)
- (maybe) a couple of levels of undo
