Using the Eyedropper to sample colors for the Interactive Fill and Mesh tools

1. Open the Color docker (Window > Dockers > Color)
2. Sample the desired color. The Color docker will store that color
3. Select your object with the Interactive Fill tool
4. Select a marker
5. On the Color docker, click the Fill button to apply the color you sampled earlier to that marker

Notes

• For mesh fills: in step 3 and 4, instead of selecting a marker with the Interactive Fill tool, select a patch or an intersection node with the Interactive Mesh Fill tool.
• This technique is useful to apply sampled colors to objects with which you can't use the Paintbucket tool, e.g. applying sampled color to the whole Artistic Media brush.
• On the Color docker, make sure the 'Auto-applies color' (lock icon) button is released
