This auto action set creates all folders/layers necessary for a lined, colored and shaded illustration. The folders and layers are named and color-coded to keep things organized.

This auto action set creates all folders/layers necessary for a lined, colored and shaded illustration. The folders and layers are named and color-coded to keep things organized. All layers are created at the very bottom (above the "Paper" layer).

The set contains the following auto actions:

grid

Activates the grid and adjusts grid settings. (The grid size is set up for a 30x30cm canvas, so if you work at a different size you might need to adjust it.)

folder setup

"Folder setup" contains all the other auto actions in the set (except "grid"). After using "folder setup", the Layer window will look like this:

sketch folder

Creates a folder for sketches, set to draft layer.

lines folder

Creates a folder for lineart. Palette color: black.

col folder

Creates a folder for base/flat colors. -> Red

shade folder

Creates a folder for shading, set to Multiply, clipped to "col folder". -> Blue

light folder

Creates a folder for lighting, set to Overlay, clipped to "col folder". -> Yellow

bg folder

Creates a folder for the background of the illustration. -> Green

sign layer

Creates a layer for adding a signature or watermark.

refl layer

Creates a layer for any highlights that are supposed to go above the lineart, for example eye reflections. -> White

b/w

Creates a correction layer that turns the illustration black and white. It's turned invisible in the beginning, but can be temporarily turned on to check the values of an illustration while coloring or shading.
