Comment on Krita tutorial 2 - Layers and editing by White-Heron
How do layers work for this program? Every time I try to color one layer, it incorporates color from the others.
For example:
Top Layer: Black lineart
Color Layer: what I want to color
Bottom Layer: White BG
If I try coloring in the Color Layer, it'll smudge in black and white from the other layers. It's really frustrating and I don't know how to stop it from doing that.

Are you using a smudge brush? It sounds like you have "overlay mode" activated for the Smudge Brush.
To turn it off, go to the brush settings drop-down, and uncheck Overlay mode in the column where you have size, spacing etc.
If that doesn't work, or if you're using another brush, please tell me what brush you're using exactly etc.

Yup, that fixed my issue I was using the "mixover_smear" brush on "normal mode" but I guess it was set to "overlay" in the brush settings. Thank you so much!

Great! Glad that fixed it!
