What is the point of filling your line work in with solid color?

Post the full image please.
>>2395112
you can put your colors on a mask and your control doesn't matter when you color it.
>>2395118
Now answer my diddly damn question
>>2395122
this, its basically so you can lock all your coloring and shading onto that space so you don't go outside the lines
>>2395122
what is a "mask"
>>2395112
So this doesnt happen
>>2395127
a mask does this
>>2395127
A mask is an area selected like you do with the lasso tool in photoshop. The difference is that it's it's own layer. It's basically a virtual stencil.
Google masks in Photoshop. There are a lot of tutorials explaining it.

MAKOTO RAIKO is that you???
>>2395144
whenever i try it, my layer just disappears
>>2395161
you have to make a selection first
imagine you have a piece of masking tape
cut out a shape in the middle of the tape and peel it away
that's what masking your layer does
you can also make a masked folder and add multiple layers inside of that

If I pull it off will you die?
>>2395311

>>2395311

>how to color inside without hassle
Make clean lineart
>>2395112
in Corel Painter because you can glaze with digital watercolors
Okay im still not getting the same results. Im using Paint Tool Sai. Even when I mask a layer, it still treats it like a normal layer. Is this something that only works for PS?
>>2395596
Stop advertising that shitty program.
>>2395628
no, keep using your ps machinegun you easymode shitty person
>>2395601
if your mask layer is black, everything is "masked", you have to paint with white to reveal shit (or alternatively paint with black to mask it)
if you're talking about clipping mask, in sai you make a new layer above the base layer and check "clipping group" and when you paint on the upper layer it will only be visible on the area that is filled with color on the base layer
>>2395688
I get it now
>>2395112
It makes the image more presentable, the character pops out and reads better.
>>2395112
For masking purposes, just like in traditional art.
>>2395144
No, that's a clipping mask.
masks are like stencils that allow you to erase or "mask" certain areas of your layers in a non destrucive way. Black hides the pixels, white reveals them.
A clipping mask just keeps the pixels inside the boundary of the layer beneath.
>>2395688
Whats the difference between layer masks and clipping groups?
>>2395596
it got the best brushes I had to try so far BUT IT GOT NO SHORTCUT FOR ZOOM like wtf nigga, and no history, and no shortcut for the canvas size and I've been drawing with it for just one day, who knows how much more I'll discover it doesn't have
but hnnng, those brushes
>>2399099
ctrl+,ctrl- and ctrl0
it really lacks a lot of shit if you're used to photoshop, but the opposite case it's also true
>>2395112
>>2395127
Honestly, fuck off. If you're a digital artist and you don't know these things then you're simply retarded. And I don't give a fuck if you're a traditional fag trying to satisfy your curiosity. Responding to people's replies with even more basic questions just makes you sound like a massive douche. At that point just fucking google.

My question was answered days ago you autistic retard. Why are you bumping this thread
