Learn how to paint within the boundaries of your drawings with Paint inside in Adobe Fresco.
Paint inside lets you effortlessly color your artwork by constraining strokes to boundaries.
Paint inside an area
Tap the Paint inside icon in the left panel to constrain your strokes to enclosed areas. A brief on-screen message confirms whether Paint inside is turned on or off each time you tap it.
Toggle on Transparent areas only to paint any area with no content.
Move the Color margin slider to adjust the boundary between the color and linework.
A higher value on the Color margin indicates a boundary closer to the lines. As you decrease the value, the boundary and the line become more distinct.
Note
You can use Paint inside directly on the line layer or with reference layers.
Reset Paint inside
Reset the Paint inside settings if you've drawn other linework to fill with Paint inside turned on.
To reset Paint inside, toggle off Paint inside to turn it off and toggle on the icon again to turn it back on.
