Introduction

There is always only one active material in the list (the selected one).When you draw, the new strokes use the active material.

The material always remains linked to the strokes, this means that any change in a material will changethe look of already drawn strokes.

Grease Pencil Materials are data-blocks that can be to one or more objects, and different materials can be assigned to different strokes.
