Steps:

1. Do a light, rough sketch of the drawing.
2. Create your palette (Kaiti uses a mix of blues, yellows, greens, and white).
3. Start painting from light to dark. When the first layer of lighter colors is complete, let it dry before moving onto the darker colors.
4. Start painting the darker colors. Once completed, let the layer dry.
5. Begin adding in details (outlines, bubbles, etc.). Kaiti recommends moving from left to right so as not to smudge your work.
6. Add Life is Good & admire your masterpiece!
