More Color Mode Experimentation

Color applied above the grayscale layer on a layer set to “color” mode

I had a few minutes today to apply some color to my repentent volcano demon, who’s actually a tiny, very cute tabby cat. One thing about the color mode that I quickly realized — if your grayscale layer sucks, no amount of color can save it. If the values are wrong in the grayscale layer, you can’t make them right in the color layer. Damn! Everything about painting so so finicky. I suppose this is where the long hours of practice make a difference. That’s what I keep hearing. Now I need to find out where to get me some of those “long hours.”
