Description
Well, here it is. The horse colouring tutorial. And it was LONG. I got the actual picture done days ago.
This ended up 4 parts long as I didn't make a long enough file.
But I've put two parts together so it's only part very long parts. Thanks for the encouragement though, without it I would never have got this done. It is detailed yes, right down to the fetlocks.
Part 2- [link]

I assume your working in GIMP.
The background (lineart) layer should be on top. Layers are displayed with the bottom layer underneath everything else, the top layer on the top.
Does the lineart layer have a white background?

the mane and tail cause teh msost problems when you don't have a tablet
although, i am experimenting with the paths tool; it makes it take ages, but you get an effect close to the one you et when using a tablet it might just be easier to nick my brothers tablet though

It is easier with a tablet but I've seen many a person do great art without one. I find it easier personally but it depends. If I'm dealing with photos and the like, I find a mouse easier. 
I used to use the path tool and I find it gave a smoother line than when I drew it with a tablet.
Advised. ¬_¬

i know i can do it without a tablet, but making hair look like hair, rather than a bunch of weird twigs, is something i need to work on. a lot
