The "next" button, should be in the top right corner of the page (as well as the bottom right) as people scroll up and down, they will have ease of accessibility to the click. I would also argue that because majority of users are right handed and they want to easily navigate the site, the <Back button should be just to the left of the Next> button. This would put both the back and forward buttons in the top and bottom right corners. From the perspective of a tablet, where your less dominant hand is found under and holding the whole tablet, (usually your left), the right hand is free, why cross your whole body to navigate, having it where your right hand tends to hover (the top right corner) the basic navigation should be found there.

To prepare a panel I first sand it with 220 grain sandpaper. |
When the ash panel is smooth to the touch, under magnification it is grainy and porous. |

I make a mixture of gloss polymer and 1/3 distilled water. I use gloss because it is the basic form of polymer. Matt polymers are made by introducing a foaming agent making the matt a more chemically complicated and slightly less stable polymer than gloss. I use distilled water for the same reason. It is chemically simpler than tap water, reducing the variables. |
The first coat of polymer soaks into the wood, as it does canvas, surrounds the wood fibers and makes a good strong physical bond. It is a good, stable base for all the subsequent applications of acrylic and their chemical bonds.
Many brush applications of polymer are made. I don't know the exact numbers because my decision to stop layering is based upon build up and the appearance of brush strokes and acrylic surface abnormalities. |

I then wet sand with 400 grit sandpaper. This process of painting clear coats and sanding continues until I am satisfied with the smoothness of the surface. |
Then the 46 x 61 cm (18 x 24 in) ash panel is ready for drawing but, |

|
not until this prequel on 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 in) mahogany panel, which is drawn and ready for colour, is completed. |
