Coloring - Chibi girl (Rabi-en rose)

I got this color-in line art from DeviantArt. When coloring in, be as neat as possible! coloring that goes over the line looks really tacky and not so great. I color by putting the line art on the top layer, then coloring on layers underneath (and when the lines are really thick, this technique is super easy to apply!). I put each color  on different layers. After I color it all in, it usually looks ok, but if it doesn't have much detail in the line art, you'll find that it looks a bit flat. This is where overlay comes into use! On the top layer, I pick black as my color, and set the layer as 'overlay'. then, I color around the edges of the picture to make it darker there. After doing this around the whole picture, it makes it look more 3D, and AWESOME.
