Description
This lineart is NOT Paint compatible.You need to have a drawing program with layers. Photoshop is best.
How I would color this in Photoshop:
-Pick a loud color (blue, green, red) and fill in a layer below the lineart.
-Use the magic wand tool to select OUTSIDE the lines on the lineart layer.
-Expand the selection by one pixel.
-Click on the the color layer and hit delete so that the blue is only inside the cat.
-Pick the eraser and clean up any extra color outside the lines. This makes it look nice.
-Lock the transparency in the layer (Click the checkerboard at the bottom) and fill it in with your base color.
-Make a new layer and hit Ctrl+g or go to Layers>Create Clipping Mask. This way, you won't have to worry about coloring outside your base color. Make a new clipping mask for every color, but you only need one for the eyes, nose, and inners ears (if you like your inner ears colored).
^I hope that'll help. Feel free to ask me questions so that I can edit the description.
I just gave away how I color my lineart. XD
GIVE ME CREDIT.
If you claim this as your own I'm gonna be sorely disappointed that you'd abuse free stuff like this.

If your program's got layers it should be fine. ^^

PFFT TELL ME HOW TO DO THIS.
I have the layer with the lineart and everything, then I make a new layer for colors, but when I try to color on the 'Color' layer, the color doesn't stay within the lines. HALP? D:
