@xin-li Oh, great! I'm glad there's another way to add color, because I would really like find a better one than color overlay layers. I know how to select line work with channels, but I have never heard of an alpha lock. I'm going to have to look that up! Thanks!

@xin-li I think that WAY back in Christopher Denise’s instagram feed there is a process video or two. I love him too. His characters are so cute and I love his color.
I’ve been experimenting too. I want my pieces to look traditional but I enjoy the convenience of digital.
I love your style and have been enjoying seeing your work evolve.
Edit: sorry I lied. There are no full process videos on his feed. There are several partial ones but not for color. But I know I did see one at some point. He was coloring a bear. I’ll have to look because now I NEED to see it too.

@JennyJones thank you so much. Let me know if you find the video. I was searching information in Christopher's IG feeds as well

@LauraA alpha lock has been super useful to me. Let me know if you have trouble finding it. I will help out :-).

@xin-li I think it's transparency lock in Photoshop, right? One of the buttons next to the word "Lock at the top of the layer menu? I have tried that today, and clipping masks. The transparency look is interesting, but it seems to color lighter than the pencil under it. I will keep fiddling with it. Thank you!
