 Using a pencil tablet can be useful. If investing time in it, using a display pencil tablet can improve workflow as well. Using a pencil tablet can be useful. If investing time in it, using a display pencil tablet can improve workflow as well.

 Shapes can also be deleted manually by selecting them and using **''X''**. Shapes can also be deleted manually by selecting them and using **''X''**.

 +The different layers can be found in the **Dope Sheet** for the animation of Keyframes and also in the **Data** panel.
 +
 +The **Trim tool** can be handy to lasso select parts of the drawing that are sticking in/out and automatically trim them.

 +===== Materials =====
 +
 +It's important to understand that each stroke is made using a certain **Material**.
 +
 +The different materials can be modified in the **Materials** panel.
 +
 +Materials can have either a Stroke , a Fill or both activated.
 +
 +Using a Fill material (on a Fill layer) can be used to fill in closed shapes.
 +
 +//Usually one click works (since Blender 4.5) but if not, this can be modified with the Fill brush selected under the **Tools** panel > Brush Settings > Advanced > untick **Visual Aids** (which requires two clicks to fill instead of one).//

 +===== Animations =====
 +
 +Contrarily to 3D animations, Blender will not interpolate movement between keyframes. 
 +
 +Every keyframe for a layer will modify the entire content of the layer, this is why separate objects should be in separate layers. Especially when animating.
 +
 +If Auto-keying is enabled (and it should) drawing on a new frame will automatically grey-out the content from the previous keyframe in green. If content for that layer is keyframed at a future keyframe, that keyframe will also displayed in a greyed-out purple.
 +
 +This is called **Onion skinning** and can be toggled on/off next to the layer name.
