Why are my drawing tools not working?

Hi, I have TVP Animation 10 (10.0.11-32 bits) and I opened up tvpaint today and discovered my drawing tools (pen, brush, ect) arn't working. Whenever I go to draw, nothing shows up.

Everything else seems to work fine (animation plays, there's no lag, even the eraser still works!) but nothing shows when I draw. I'm wondering if I could have accidentally turned on a certain setting by accident?

If anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it!

Most likely you have your stencil activated; the last of the little dots on the right of the layer head, or to say it in another way, the last dot to the right of the green/red Activation button every layer has.

OK, if I draw and nothing shows up, I check these:
1. Press F2 = colour mode.
2. Disable stencils.
3. Disable selections.
4. Check opacity.
5. Check tool size.
