Draw Behind

[Joshua Lykkeberg]

I'm trying to find a way to paint behind lines that are already drawn, similar to toonboom and flash. For example, if I draw an image with all black lines then decide to throw in some red lines, I would want the red lines to automatically appear under the black lines rather than appearing on top.  Anyone found this feature? or not on this program? This is the only feature important to me I haven't been able to find yet. Thanks

just draw you red line, then select it, right click > send back

I found that option, but I was looking for a setting or button that automates this process as you draw the line like in some other programs.

I haven't tried this yet, but would drawing it on a different layer work? I assume if it's anything like adobe programs, this red-line layer could be underneath your black-line layer so that they automatically are beneath. 

But then again, it seems OpenToonz is proving quite different from Adobe software so who knows

If you use the paint brush tool (the long one a few options over from the regular brush), it seems to automatically paint under the regular brush tools. I don't know if that helps but I found it quite convenient.

I think the layers approach might be the only workaround for the way I like working. I'm not too sure about that paint brush tool. It said I can't use on vector layers, then it said I can't use on raster layers. lol but idk what it does so I'm not too bummed out. Thanks for the suggestions so far.

I am trying to figure this out as well. I want to draw some details on a top layer to overlay my original drawing and then paint the new regions, but it doesn't work. I didn't see a "Paint all layers" option like Photoshop has but I assume there must be some way to do this. If you figure it out guys let us know. Thanks!
