Script-Fu -> Prepare for Colorize
This is a non-adjustable script
it prepares line art to be colorized.
To colorize line art, the best way is to make a new transparent layer and set it to be in "multiply" mode. That's really all this does... saves you a few steps and makes it easy if you colorize a section or two at a time. (Flatten image when you get a section done, then colorize prep again... just a lot less clicking and won't forget multiply mode or whatever.)
When line art is colorized in this manner, you can use the brush (at 100% opacity, for consistency) and draw right over the black line art edges. See below:
