Heya

Having a little trouble when actually colouring my PixelArt:

Making PixelArt outlines means that when I try to paintbucket areas of colour for a section, it colours the whole background of the canvas. Using the magic wand also selects everything, so I haven’t come up with a sure-fire way of colouring large PixelArt through PS.

How do people colour their work through PS?

Cheers
