Marking Tutorial Part One

This is LOOOOOOONG overdue but I finally got around to fixing up a marking tutorial for everyone that has asked. These are not the EXACT steps I take EVERY time but it is close enough that you get the idea...I hope.

As always I am MORE then happy to answer questions if something is not clear and I strongly encourage everyone who is having difficulty not to ever hesitate to ask for help! I'm always willing to redline and even walk people through things (if my time allows). ^.^
