How do you texture paint in the UV Editor?

Like the question asks - how can you do it in 2.8? I can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve just managed to do it in 2.79, but I see no option within the UV Editor. :-\

First off make sure that the object has UV’s. Lots of people forget about that step…
In object mode select the part you want to paint…
Up in the top bar select Texture Paint Workspace…“If you select it from the object window pulldown you will have to go through a lot of steps of opening windows and such…”

Now you are ready to go…or should be…

Thank you. I didn’t realise you had to make a UV. The tutorial I was following didn’t even show that being done, so I figured it wasn’t necessary. But crucially, what I didn’t realise is that you have to go into Image Editor instead of doing it via the UV Editor. :slight_smile:

Only issue I have no is that there’s no eraser. -__-
