What I suggest doing in putting the color layers under the lineart layer. What I do is have a solid colored background under the lineart and use the bucket tool with the color set to transparent to clear out the big blocks of color around the horse.

After that I have to clean up the base a tiny but, by putting a colored layer under the base that isn't the same color. I go back to the base layer and clean up the edges of the piece. For all other colors like the mane and tail, I put those on separate layers and clip the layers to the base.

Sorry if that was confusing

A little bit, but thank you. I think I can figure that out. The one I'm trying to do right now it has the "transparent background" as the background so it covers up whatever I put beneath it. Does that change anything?

The background on the lines isn't actually transparent. It just has the checkered pattern. I don't know if it is my computer or if it was just the couple of lines I was experimenting with.
