Good Work!! I see what you mean by trying to apply my coloring style with the bright pinks and blues.
How did you prep the line art? In the download there seems to be a little white halo around all the lines. It looks like you tried to delete all the white from the line art layer, but the anti-alias was on.
Also remind me what software do you use to color?

I did delete the white on the line art. I use Paint.NET to color. I thought anyi-aliasing was what gave a smoother line. I think the problem is that Paint.NET doesn't have a "selection plus 2 or 3 pixels" type of option.

Does paint have layer modes like “Screen” or “multiply”?

It does have screen and multiply modes. You know, I never thought much about the quality of my scans. I set the dpi as high as it'll go, scan the image, and then delete the white. After your comment, I went to re-examine the initial image, and noticed that even though I used the "black and white" setting to scan the image, there was still a few shades of grey as well when you zoomed it. So I adjusted the levels on the image until I only had black and white. Then when I used the magic wand tool to select all the white, I think it did a much better job. Do you have any other suggestions to improve that aspect? Where were you going with the screen and multiply?

Well I don't know much about the software you were using. but Clip studio paint has a function called "Make brightness transparent. If you click on it, it makes all the white in your image transparent. its a nice tool.
My suggestion was to not bother deleting all the white manually. but simply set your line art layer to multiply. When you do that white becomes transparent. It's still technically there, it's just see-through. The advantage to this is that it saves time and energy and you won't run the risk of having that little white halo around your lines. The disadvantage is that you won't be able to do color line-holds quite the same way, since all the white of your paper is still technically there.
If you do want to keep deleting the white like you had been. just make sure anti-alias is turned off for your selection tool. Anit-alias is meant to make edges appear smoother by blurring pixels together. You don't want that when selecting the white. you want to select all white you don't want edges to be blurred (that's another reason the white halos may be appearing around your line art.
hope that helps.
