Trouble with Drawing

[amidoingthisright?]

Alright, so I'm trying to draw on my pixel persona with a brush but everytime that I go to draw it automatically switches me to erasing and I don't know how to fix it. This also happens when I use any other tools in pixel as well as vector. I just got this app and I have no clue what's going on.

This is very strange. Are you saying that when you select the brush tool the app is automatically changing to the erase tool? So clicking on the brush icon erases something that is already on the pixel layer? Or maybe the brush is overpainting with white? Check the color selection.

 

And again strange. There is no eraser in vector. The vector brush might also fade away anything there if its color was set to background white. Look at the layers panel, and turn off vector brush curves. If the problem is that you are painting w. white on a white background, when the layer is turned off, the underlying image will re-show.

Hi @amidoingthisright?,

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

Are you using a graphic tablet when this happens? 

 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Out of curiosity, select another tool and use it like, say, the Rectangle Tool, then select the brush tool and try to paint.
