I made these magnetic filling tools to quickly lay down the base colors for my illustrations. They require semi clean lineart for the magnetic feature to work.
My two favourite tools for quick coloring ♡
Magic Lasso Fill:
First make sure to set each of your lineart layers or a folder containing them, as reference layer. (To do that click on the small lighthouse icon in the upper row of the "Layers"-window while the layers/folder are selected)
Choose the Tool "Magic Lasso Fill by Elorian" and select the color you want to fill with. Then select the area either by drawing one continuous line or tapping points you want to connect. If there is a referenced lineart, the cursor will automatically snap to it and use it as a guideline once the cursor comes near it.
_________________________________________________________________________
You can also turn the magnetic filling tool into a regular lasso fill by enabling "magnetic lasso" in the tool settings. This can come in handy when the reference lines have gaps. (For those of you who don't want to have the tool property window open all the time, I will add an additional non-magnetic Lasso Fill Tool.)
_________________________________________________________________________
If you don't want to fill an area with color, but to erase, then just use "transparent" as a color.

To use the full potential of the magnetic setting, you dont have to trace the line but can simply click on it on multiple points and the selection will automatically go along the reference lineart.

Magic Cell Fill:
This tool recognizes closed cells (= areas that are fully enclosed by other colors) as well as lineart and can be used as a quick filling tool.
You might want to adjust the tolerance based on the lineart tool you use. The default settings should work just fine with Elorian's Dynamic Lineart Brushes. (Once you've found a tolerance setting that works for you, set it as standard in the tool settings)

Choose any closed cell and roughly paint around it, make sure the whole cell is within the selection.

It will fill all pixels of a certain type on the layer youre painting on. The default is set to "all colors" (transparency counts as color).
But sometimes you might want to only target transaprent pixels to not overpaint already colored areas on the same layer. For that you can switch the target color in the settings to "only transparent". (For those of you who don't want to have the tool property window open all the time, I will add an additional only transparent Cell Fill Tool.)
