Something I've never understood about Dobson is, for all the shit he rightfully got during the time online, why does the use of bucket is one that's always brought up against him? I've seen many beloved artists on their videos and livestreams use it, including one of the animators of the Lackadaisy pilot, but only Dobbear gets shit over it.

Because Dobson also wants to look down his nose and lecture other artists for “not drawing the right way”, and pointing out the fillbucket thing makes him mad.

Ergo, people use the fillbucket insult against him.

Didn't Dobson make an infamously bad tutorial on how to use the paint bucket tool in Photoshop?

He actually made a collection of them back in the day, but I believe you’re talking about this one.

Henlo frends. Here is a quick Fill Bucket in CSP reminder

Area Scaling!

Top - scales out 7 pixels, depending on your canvas size this will change but mine is comfy at 7/8 pixels to fill with the lineart seemlessly. 

Middle - classic issue of 0 pixel scaling, the white gaps. 

Bottom - Reverse use of area scaling, shave off pixels to get fun effects in speech bubbles or....whatever. 

also a frendly reminder refer to other layers is the single most important selection you will ever use so u can fill bucket on OTHER layers not your lineart ;D

Remembering to switch back from the Fill Bucket is hard.
