In Ae you could add shape layers using the pen tool to trace the areas you want to fill.

Will Photoshop identify borders, outline and fill? I'm guilty of hardly ever touching Photoshop.

If it’s not moving, why not just use Photoshop to color it?

Hello all,

I'm working on my own little project involving making a comic strip (just 4 cells) using hand drawn images.

So far, it's been easy.  I have the pencil drawing, I take a picture (because that's sufficient for what I'm doing), bring it in to AE, apply Luma and I have the drawing outline dropped in to a comic strip template.  So, good enough so far.

Now, i want to basically color the image and I'm wondering if there is like a way to sort of paint it in or fill within lines, etc.  I can do it manually with masks and solids and that will work but just wondering if there is a more efficient way.

Appreciate it.

On a side note, one consideration is that I send the final to myself and use my Surface Pro 3 drawing app.  The only issue with that is I've never used it so I'd have to learn that at the same time.

Thanks

Cheers, Lloyd
