please help this is driving me crazy and making it hard to draw. when I draw or undo the lines (temporarily) warp/distort
there's also just random black lines (which go away and I can and have been ignoring)
I've tried using a smaller canvas, turning on/off anti-aliasing, using a low stabilizer and restarting the program.
Any help is appreciated
Edit: it seems to be worse on the right side of the screen... for some reason?
From what I've tried nothing works, none of the standard shortcuts like alt + enter or fn+11.
I'm not sure if it's a Firealpaca problem or a Ugee problem, but I'm gonna post my issue here and deduce whether or not it's a problem with FA first before making another post about it elsewhere.
I didn't use to have this weird problem. I often keep my stylus settings on mouse mode, that way i can reposition my hand to draw a line but keep the cursor where i last placed it. I've prefered that setting over Windows Ink because i lose that freedom of keeping my cursor in place, because if i lift my hand then place it back on my tablet, the cursor doesn't stay.
Anyway. Recently, I've been forced to use the Windows Ink setting because... well... I'm sure the video speaks for itself. What's strange is that when i use my tablet as a replacement for my mouse, or play games like Osu, I don't have that issue. So, it must either be a settings issue on FA SE, or a problem with my tablet. Any help is appreciated. I'm also on Windows 11,and if the video isn't clear enough, I have an almost two year old M708 Ugee tablet. I haven't attempted any solutions yet, because I have no idea what the problem even is.
I’m new to animating in FireAlpaca and I’m confused about how I should structure my layers.
My workflow for normal drawings is:
● Create a sketch layer
● Create a color layer underneath it
● Use the fill tool to add base colors
● Add shading and line art as needed
The problem starts when I try to animate.
I have two hands reaching toward each other. The hands, line art, colors, and background should remain completely static throughout the animation. The only thing I want to animate is a silhouette moving in the background.
When I work in the animation window, my color layers don’t seem to behave the same way they do in a normal drawing. the colors appear over the sketch instead of underneath it, and I’m not sure how to keep everything organized while preserving the finished artwork across all frames.
What is the correct way to:
1. Keep colors underneath the sketch/line art?
2. Keep the coloring contained within the lines?
3. Keep a completed drawing visible across every frame without having to redraw it?
4. Animate only one element (the silhouette) while everything else remains static?
I don't really post on reddit but I couldn't find anyone else talking about this and I was distraught to log onto Firealpaca and get hit by this AI generated image of them advertising whatever
Idk what to do now, I've been using firealpaca for so long, do you think they did it on purpose or just didn't know?
