The burn tool in Manga Studio is basically used to add shadows to your artwork. This is very obvious but nonetheless there is a hurdle some users experience and they just can’t lay a finger on it. I do it in this video whilst showing you the most common mistake that is made with the burn tool. The solution is pretty easy and shows how important it is to make a selection first. If you want to know more about the cool selection features you can read this article where I explain it step by step.
Up to the video and let’s avoid this common mistake:
Hope you have a great day drawing!
Hi Mario!
Thank you for the lovely Manga Studio lessons.

Hi Zuzanna,
Great to hear that you are into drawing soon
Be prepared for my eBook.
It has a very little delay due to my little efforts regarding the oil spill.
Thanks again for all your encouragement and all you do!

Hi Mario,
i’ve got a little problem with my Burn tool. I can select it change the properties etc. but for some reason i can’t use it. As soon as i draw the mouse out of the tools window into the page the mouse will change into some kind of no parking sign. Up to now i haven’t got rid of that and thought perhaps you could know what the problem is.
Greetings

Hi Vision,
Yes I do. The reason for the no-parking-sign is that you have selected a layer other than this 2 types:
Raster Layer (8 or 32 bit)
Selection Layer (8 bit)
The burn tool will not work on a Vector Layer for example.
Greetings,
Mario
