In this video, you will learn how to create guide lines using the Line tool to draw a consistent character turn-around. You will also see how to sketch a character turn-around and clean it up by tracing it on a new layer. You will learn tips on how to trace your character and cut line extremities with the Cutter and Eraser tools.

Next, you will go over the steps to paint your colour model by creating new colour swatches, using the Swatch mode, and colouring with the painting tools. For efficient painting, you will learn about the Paint Unpainted tool to only paint empty zones and the Stoke tool to draw invisible lines.
