GIMP Problem. Would like some help

Evi

Well I drew my line art and such. I make all my layers and then I go to colour the skin. I pick the skin colour and my paint brush. Every thing is great but then I start to colour and all the colour is is shades of grey and black. No matter what colour it is. Do you know what the problem is and how to fix it? if it can be fixed that is.

Yes it can be fixed. You're probably drawing in grayscale....
Click
image > mode and choose RGB.

This will make the color's appear.

Settle down young one... it's happened to me so many times and I had no idea what was wrong until I consulted my father.

I know the topic's basically resolved, but if you ever download a manga image, a lot of them aren't in RGB color mode to begin with, so you have to put them there. Just my knowledge on the topic.
