well i know how, but its still somewhat confusing to me, i'll work on layering a bit later in a practice drawing. AH!!! i forgot him a tail :'[[ oh well ill finish this later XD thanksies guys ^^

We ENCOURAGE people to take time here, just look at some of the work in Showcase. Doodles are not greatly accepted or appreciated.
As for the layers it's pretty much like Oekaki Shi or BBS. The bottom layer (or layer 1) is the bg and any layer added on is one over the other. You'll find layers on the left of the screen below the window that shows the steps you've taken coloring your picture.
There are small icons, place your mouse over the icons and it will tell you which is which (add layer, merge layer, delete, etc.) There are a lot of great tools in Lascaux including a gradient tool (the little purple pink box in the tools section) comes in handy.
And to make cleaner lineart try the airbrush on med flow/opacity making thick lines then going back with the erasure to shave it down, takes more time but the result is clean thin smooth lines. And if your a heavy blur tool user.... don't. Please think of the children ;).
Nice first piece, again don't worry about taking time here, it's welcomed. Best way to improve. Hello and nice to have you here DH.

thanksies for the instructions or how ever you spell it ^^
