Thanks! It looks really messy though

I don't like giving unwarranted advice, but have you tried layers? You use one separate one for the lines, and then one for the color <3 it makes things look cleaner! I think this looks great tho <3

Yeah I died, though I probably did it wrong, it took me forever to figure out how to do alpha lock, or whatever its called.

If you want a little tip for using alpha lock, I recommend putting your lineart layer, then making a layer UNDER that, tracing along the lines in one color and filling it in so you have a solid color base, then, on a new layer above that, but still below the lineart, use alpha lock on this layer and then color the character as you wish! It makes it a lot easier to color inside the lines, as alpha lock keeps all the drawing on the solid color you put down originally! I typically use this, then for any fur patterns or markings I'll add another alpha lock layer above my main/base color so I don't have to erase the base color when I mess up my markings ^^

To build on what Cry is sayin, I’d suggest using a pixel art brush for the color layer, it’s easy to paint bucket it :] and stabilizer is your friend aswell :] you can dm me if ya need any art tips :]
