"Hi. This is Cable, for Expert Village. Once you have your color palette selected and your frames are scanned and labeled properly and you know where they are and you can get to them, open them up in your ink and paint program, and start to paint. Now, as you can see, sometimes if the lines are not prepared properly; and this is highly likely in that there's a lot of drawing, a lot of frames that you can capture; sometimes there are breaks in the lines. And when you use the fill tool or the paint bucket tool, then the digital paint will spill out into other areas or even the background. So this is something that can take time. And if you do have breaks in your artwork, then you can go back with a paintbrush and just close those lines, so that they'll contain the fills when they're put in. And once you have all your frames cleaned up, inked with the lines, and painted with your color fills; make sure that you have all your files in the folder. And review your frames, and you can assemble the frames into a quick test."
