How to Make Drawing Image Bigger or Smaller in Pencil 2D

====================================================================

Pencil 2D is a free, open-source animation software that allows users to create and edit two-dimensional animations easily. The program offers several features such as onion skinning, layers support, tweening between frames, importing/Exporting of various file formats like PNG sequence (zipped), GIF89a, AVI1-8, QuickTime (BWC2 BPS4V3 V60) and others.

The following article will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to enlarge or reduce the size of your drawing image in Pencil 2D:

Step 1: Select Your Drawing

-----------------------------

To make changes to an existing drawing, first, select it using either the 'Select All' tool (Ctrl+A) if there are multiple layers or use the LMB click and drag method on top of the layer you wish to edit.

Step 2: Choose Move Tool

-------------------

After selecting your desired layer(s), switch over to the move tool by pressing 'M' key on Windows/Command + Shift + M for Mac OS X users. Alternatively, navigate through Pencil's toolbar until you find 'Move' icon at top menu bar then click upon it once selected.

Step 3: Resize Your Drawing

--------------------------

With your layer(s) still active and the move tool chosen, simply drag any corner handle on-screen left or right with mouse wheel scroll down/up keys pressed simultaneously (or Alt+Mouse Wheel Up/Down for Windows). This will cause all objects within that particular bounding box to either grow larger/smaller accordingly.

Alternatively,

- On Mac: Hold Shift + Command + Plus Sign (+) / Minus Sign (-)

- To zoom in/out respectively

- On PC: Press Ctrl + '+' or '-' keys while holding down the shift key

Step 4 (Optional): Precise Control with Transformation Box

----------------------------------------------------------------

If you need more precise control over your drawing's size, activate the transformation box by pressing Shift+RMB (Right-click on Windows) or Command+Option+Shift+Spacebar simultaneously. Use the handles inside this bounding area to scale up/down individual objects within that selected region only.

Tips & Tricks:

-------------

* To reset any transform applied during these steps simply press Enter/Return key once finished editing.

* You can also use shortcuts like Ctrl + Shift + Plus Sign (+) / Minus Sign (-) for quick zooming in/out without having to switch between tools first!

-------

With the above guide, you should now be able to easily resize your drawings within Pencil 2D. Remember that practice makes perfect so feel free to experiment with different techniques until finding what works best suits your workflow needs!
