Is this the best way to color stuff in, or is there a better way that i'm not aware of?

Magic wand inside -> paint it in

Oh, right. I see what you're saying.

Use the magic wand tool to select inside the outline. Keep the selection and select whatever layer you want the dumped color to be on. On the paint bucket tool, click "fill entire selection (or whatever similar option it is in Photoshop, this is off my experience in GIMP)" and then click inside the selection.

That should do it.

I got it to work by setting the wand's tolerance to 101 with anti-aliasing and contiguous on and using the paint bucket a on a below layer with anti-aliasing off (just in case) and contiguous on

The brush i'm using is a 5 pixel brush with 100% hardness and 1% spacing, with that orange-like wood looking texture scaled to 1000% on color burn mode

Thanks for the help, though :D

I just realized, it only worked because i had a gray (#666666) background and had the sample all layers option on for the magic wand, without a gray background and the sample all layers option, it still doesn't work :C
