Block out ALL of the SHAPES you see in the image you edited!
VERY IMPORTANT STEP, don't skip any shapes no matter how small!
Please use the ERASER when your lines do not match up with the reference image.
Fill in your SHAPES with one of the 4 VALUES from the reference image!
Blend the background with VERY SMOOTH TRANSITIONS!
Add the opposite value to each side of the line and blend to speed up the process.
Very few if any smooth transitions will need to be made on the OBJECT.
