Thank you so much, amvobsessor, for responding. I'd love to have your long response. When it comes to this digital stuff, I'm really clueless. It would be wonderful if you could email me at catluckey@hotmail.com I definitely have to try this digital coloring.

How does one obtain the software used in the tutorial? I mean, I do have GIMP (GNU Image Manipulator Program); however, I believe I could do better in drawing, albeit digitally.

Proceed to write lengthy response. Didn't log in disappears O_o

. I use photoshop, and yes there is a similar basic system. The reason the lineart doesn't get covered it because it is above all of the colour layers.

@catlucker

This is beautiful! Have you worked in photoshop? Because that's what I have also. I'm wondering if there's a similar basic system. And how come the lines don't get covered up when you paint over in that layer?
