How GK Does An Oekaki (coming to a theatre near you)
I'm cutting right to the chase on this one. If using a newer version of oekaki, I start the default solid 1pt black line on the top layer although I don't use layers much myself as my faithful mask option is still implemented. (see the tool explanations here.)
There are many ways to color using oekaki and it can be hard to decide which is best! So, I'm going to start with solids--people seem to find them easier. First thing I do is click 'normal' to activate 'mask' so that i can be carefree and color underneath the black lineart (no layers required). It's time to make a color and adjust the bars. Squeezing another topic in, I want to advise again that each color should be done with at least 3 values: highlight, base, and shade(s). Remember, you can duplicate a color by selecting it and right clicking a square on the pallette.
Next I'm going to do the hair applying the same multiple-values concept. This time I need to be more careful to color in the lines. Using mostly A190 tones for the hair and shirt collar, I get the following results.
