Hi, I'm kinda new here, and there's one thing I haven't been able to figure out. When I watch peoples drawing I someone se them using some sort of tool that.. I don't know how to explain really but.. they draw lines and somehow the inner part between the lines is being colored, sort of like it fills the white space in between. how do they do that? I've tried every tool I can find on queeky, but I can't find out how they do this.. If anyone found any logic in what I just wrote and understand what I mean, please help!

Try this ...
Okay - select the colour you want to fill the space in the paint bucket selector at the bottom of the tool selector (not the paint bucket half way down) ... if you want an outline choose that colour in the pencil selector just above the paint bucket. Now select either the pencil tool or the airbrush tool and you can then draw the shape you want and it will be filled in.
Things to watch - if you double back on your outline you will get voids in the fill - but this can be useful say to create foliage in one shape.
These are excellent for creating soft shadow by having you fill colour set to a very high transparency - and that also helps you create the appearance of water or glass ... especially useful here is to leave the pencil colour sector set as none (the red diagonal stripe) so you get a 'film' then add shadow and highlights on top to complete the effect.
Good luck

Oh thank you thank you!
Oh thank you thank you! that's exactly the effect I meant, thank you so much for explaining. Can't believe I didn't figure it, I guess I thought that the bucket would do the same thing as the bucket a little further up. so thank you again for the quick and extremely helpful answer.
