The first steps of how I do what I do, explained as simply as I can manage. This is in response to comments about difficulty coloring. If anybody is familiar with a faster or more effective way to flat color, I'd be happy to hear it. This works perfectly in Photoshop CS2, and I hope this helps somebody somewhere.

hehehehe this was drving me wild with some of the line art I had. Fianlly understood the multiply fuction and now loving it. . . just how have to learn how to play with shading effects on GIMP.
Now I have to learn to use better hand eye corination when playing with Wacom Bamboo pen and touch.

Okay. I had always wondered if there was some dark secret to making the fill tool work, but I guess my 'oh screw it I'll just colour in the edges carefully and then the insides less carefully' approach was perfectly fine.
Setting a copy of the lines to multiply seems so obvious now though. Before I had always tried to cut out everything that wasn't black / very very very dark grey on the line work and get /that/ as a layer, which was a bit tedious and had the potential of ugly white / gray artifacts if I messed it up at all.
Thanks for this, at first I was worried it was just going to be a joke.

Aw, it's great to hear you say that. Grouping is phenomenally helpful, especially when it comes to shading. When I first learned about it I was just as overjoyed and pissed off as when I learned about multiply. Just all sorts of "WHY DID I DO ALL THAT WORK WHEN I COULD HAVE DONE THIS?! WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME?!"
So yeah, glad to share that pleased frustration with you.

And now, it HAS! Though I think I've decided that I'm going to do some thicker lineart from now on. I'm tired of having to watch carefully that one-pixel-thick darkest line to decide which color should be the outline on the inside. This means I'm gonna have to do bigger artwork, though...Or something. Mrf.
