It was the way that when an area is selected and colour or texture is applied, the colour/texture only applies to that selected area, or areas. That means using the screen at a different angle to my usual, which is a good thing I think as I now can’t hunch over the screen. It does mean I need to use my keyboard along with my Microsoft Surface Slim Pen and Microsoft Surface Studio. This is the selection tool, and it’s a great way to select areas for adding colour, texture and/or effects to as well as copying, pasting, moving, rotating, resizing and so on.

I woke a bit earlier than usual this morning, and while I was coming around I watched an Autodesk Sketchbook Pro tutorial by Trent Kaniuga – Sketchbook Pro for Absolute Beginners and came across an explanation and use of a tool I’d not worked out for myself.
