1. Sketch Ifu are a beginner or just starting out painting, i really recommend u to start with sketch, make the sketch looks clean for ur eyes so it will be easier to paint later 2. Greyscale Paint it with a greyscale color and make sure the value is correct or almost correct, if ur value is good then ur color will also probably looks goo. If u dont know what is value, u can search it up on google for now hehe 3. Color layer Add new layer and set it up on color modes, u can use clipping mask dor this layer or no its all up to u. When u put color on this layer, make sure the color that u choose have low saturation color, cuz this is just for the base painting, no need to worry much biut color. 4. Touch up ur painting In this step u can touch up ur paintihg with various lauer such as color balance,HSB slider, or curve tool. U can also use other layer modes if u want, like soft light, overlay,etc. 5. Finishing Merge it into 1 layer and paintover it with ur painting skill
