What do you mean "layer aspect"? if you don't know how to use layers that's a whole other thing.

Really all you have to do is draw the stuff and arrange it.

All I mean is what goes where? What should be on top and what should be on bottom? :/

It all really depends. Usually the background color is the first layer, animal poses next, color scheme and lettering next.

Also i saw that you don't know how to add textures. The steps are-

Find a texture you like and save it the computer(usually the down loaded version is best)
File>place-(box comes up, browse your computer for where you saved the texture)
Now its a layer above the rest. Double click it using the brush/eraser tool, a box comes up saying something like "you must simplify bla bla bla" just click yes.

From here most people lower opacity and change settings to multiply or something else. You can also draw an image on a different canvas and add in the same way.

I hope i made sense ^^;

Explain what you mean more specifically. You mean in the actual drawings or how things are arranged on the sheet?

How they are arranged on the sheet. Sorry I didn't clarify that.

No problem. There is no rules besides what makes sense to you.
