Why is apple bloom on the table at all? Never color that way btw. Not even for play play. Make a layer with Multiply on top of your sketch and color that. SO much easier.

I use Gimp at the moment and there is no Multiply function as far as i can tell. What i do is i copy the line art so it's on it's own transparent layer, then add a white layer below it and color on the white layer after using the selection tool to select certain shapes for coloring. Closest i can get to how most people do it on Photoshop or Illustrator until i can get one of the two.

Copying the line art "to its own transparent layer" doesn't work, because it copies the white of the paper at the edges of and inside the lines. That's what creates "jaggies" or light colorless borders to all your lines. There's a better way to get rid of the white of the paper, though! You can use the "Menu > Colors > Color to Alpha" tool to turn all the white to transparency. It will make the underlying color you add "bleed" through anything not totally black, but that actually looks better than keeping the white. It looks sort of like as if you drew the pencil on colored paper.
You can get the same effect with a Multiply layer, though the technique is different. With Multiply you leave your line art with its original white and create a transparent layer on top of it, then under Mode: in the Layers dialog (above where the layers are listed) you select Multiply for the top layer. Then you color on the top layer. It's the same end result as Color to Alpha, but Color to Alpha is a bit newer. I suggested Color to Alpha because it would allow you to use the same technique you have been using, except now you can get rid of the white in the lineart without leaving jaggies left over.
Still waiting for a tool that turns the irregularly grey pixels in pencil lines into nice solid black ones. Also the tool that draws a pony for me.

I doubt Scoot's or Dashie would be that angry.
