How to use layers:

It's simple once you get used to it. On the layer box, when you open a new painting, there is only one layer in the layer box. Which is called 'Layer 1', of course. Now, that layer has a preset white background drawn on it already. To add a new layer, look just bellow that rectange with the Layer 1 information. There is a plus sign, and a minus sign. The plus sign is to add another layer. Which has no color or background, it's transparent.

So, if you pushed the plus sign, a new layer will pop up above the first layer called 'Layer 2'. You can draw on that layer and still see Layer 1. You can click on Layer 1 to color on that. The little black circles you see on the left of the names is a visibility option. Click it and it'll look like an empty circle and the layer will dissapear until you click the circle again. Now, whatever you put above another layer, the layer at the top in the box will be ontop of everything. We usually want our lineart way at the top and all the colors at the bottom or between the lineart and the background.

You can also double-click the layer name- ex, Layer 1 or Layer 2 - to change their name so you can keep track of what is what and what goes where. You see the scroll option at the way top of the layers? It is preset to Normal- mess with that and you'll figure out what it does. Though some of them appear to be the same as Normal. There is also two option just bellow that but above the layer names. Sample All Layers and Lock Alpha. Lock alpha is really cool. You can color something with one single color, then click lock alpha, and then color it and it won't go outside the area already colored. It just colors what is there. This works well for added layers, not the background. I, personally, don't know what Sample All Layers does.

But mess around with it and you'll get used to it quick. I hope this information helps <3
