New tutorial about all new gradients and dithering modes ! PyDPainter 2.2.1 tutorial in French by Stephane

TIP: I create the text on the spare screen (j) on a orange background. And then use it as a whole brush and draw it on every frame, using PageDown to go to next frame.

TIPS: I use a Order: 5 Cyclic Symmetry to draw a star in 2 clicks with Line tool.

I use Tile Symmetry with a Width and Height a little larger to my Star brush to repeat the star as tiles.

I use an N Total of the number of frames (#22), with my star as Brush, Tiles on, with Animpainting on (ALT), to draw the animation from it's up right future position. It draw all the stars on all the frames moving up and right. Then I just have to delete the last frame (22) to turn the animation to a loop.

Happy Painting ! 22 looping frames done with PyDPainter, the Dpaint legacy pixel editor and animator.

While waiting for 2.2.1 to release, learn theses new shortcuts for GRADIENT FILL:
SHIFT-F1 - Pattern
SHIFT-F2 - Solid
SHIFT-F3 - Circular
SHIFT-F4 - Vertical Fit
SHIFT-F5 - Linear
SHIFT-F6 - Horizontal Fit
SHIFT-F7 - Fit Both
SHIFT-F8 - Smooth
Now that we have plenty of *Fill Type* with options, we need a short key to quickly go back to a Solid fill.
