Tutorial: Coloring inside lines (layer clipping)

Description

This is probably the question I receive most: "How come you never color outside your lines?"
Well... here's my secret...

There are other (simpler) ways, e.g. using 'preserve opacity', but this is just the method I use and prefer. Why? Because this way, if you spot you made a mistake somewhere when you're done with your drawing, you can easily navigate to the layer where you made your mistake and fix it without any risk of accidentally messing up other parts of your drawing.

Don't ask me how it's done in Photoshop, Ilustrator, GIMP... Because I don't know. I have never used any other program but SAI.

If you're looking for more resources for drawing (ponies), check out my other tutorials.
