Hello all,

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

So far, i= t's been easy.=C2=A0 I have the pencil drawing, I take a picture (becau= se 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.= =C2=A0 So, good enough so far.

Now, i want to basi= cally color the image and I'm wondering if there is like a way to sort = of paint it in or fill within lines, etc.=C2=A0 I can do it manually with m= asks and solids and that will work but just wondering if there is a more ef= ficient 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.=C2=A0 The only issue with that is I'= ve never used it so I'd have to learn that at the same time.

Thanks
