Awesome, guess I need to learn to use Gimp better then.
Maybe we can exchange tips then. Do you use the filters to color? Or do you color from start with the paintbrush?
Cause I know I always put it through a filter process that has worked very well for me and has taught a good amount of friends the nice tip that got them to digital coloring also.

I use the paintbrush, coloring each different part on its own separate layer. I'm not really familiar with coloring with filters.

That sounds like quite the process. If you want to know my method I first start by putting it through the Filter -> Artistic -> Cartoon.
From there I set the options from mask radius to full and percentage black to a zero or low percent. That darkens any line art, even artwork on line paper.
Then from there, I put it through Filters -> Artistic -> Photocopy. Set all available options to 100%, this will completely clean the artwork of any blemishes and make it even so to use the bucket color fill tool. Useable that the coloring can even be done on MSPaint. Of course the file is best in .png format. And unfilled lines you just connect so the bucket tool doesn't fill anything else a color you don't want it to be.
Hope this might add something to your coloring process.

Indeed, with this method, I've never had to learn to use layers. And it's this method I've told friends that are now digital coloring their own artworks now with no problem. So good luck and keep up the great work.
