How to Setup your Paintings

If our paint style is going to be "no line and rendered" we should all follow these simple steps in order to achieve a more consistent look. (I strongly recommend these steps but obviously I'm not going to force you). So anyway, in this example I'm using Randolph's intro-pan background he just gave me and these are the FIRST STEPS that I take.

Step#1 | Cleanup Lines
Step#2 | Create a Gradient Base
Step#3 | Block in Basic Colours
Step#4 | Ghost Lines
Step#5 | Merge Linework with Block-In
Step#6 | Paint Ontop

Ghost Plugin:
[PC] Download
[Mac] Download

The computers at school have this plugin already, but if you want to have it on your own computer download it.
