Then, I use 1 color to color the whole image that I will be putting color on to make sure that I won't be missing a spot.

... the reason why I do this so that I can clip the colors to the whole image!

As you can see above, there's this arrow down pointing to the character that I have colored purely of grey. This is called "clipping"... this means everything you do on the clipping layer only applies to the part that you have colored out below.
