    That's actually where I picked it up.

    There are some good techniques in "The DC Comic's Guide to Coloring and Lettering Comics" Watson-Guptill Publications 2004.

    I see. When I have some B&W inked type lines with white background, I can select a brush and use the 'multiply' setting to put color in. Then you can go mad with it and the color does not affect the ink line. Same thing but you dont need to use a selection or ensure that there are no breaks.

    Like this - the red was put on after the black of course.
