Hello,
I’m new to Krita and digital illustration. I have some experience with Photoshop and animation but feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the features in this program. I made this drawing for someone and they want the fur color to be a bit more beige. I have the fur in several layers but I figured I could apply the same filter/preset to each layer (or merge them together). Is there any easy way to do this? I was trying Ctrl+M but it wasn’t quite doing what I needed. Thank you! 
For a white/grey layer, you can put a beige tint on it by putting a beige layer on top and setting that tint layer to Multiply blending mode.
You’d have to isolate that arrangement in a group and also use alpha inheritance on the beige tint layer (because of the way in which transparency is treated with Multiply blending mode).
If all your white fur layers are contiguous and that harness isn’t between them, you could group them all for isolation purposes. If the harness is in between them, you’d do two groups for the two sets of white fur layers.
Then again, maybe a slight beige tint on the harness wouldn’t be noticeable or wouldn’t matter if you did group the fur layers and the harness all together.
Here’s a simple example image showing two white ‘fur’ layers tinted beige with the effect isolated to those two white layers. You can adjust the opacity of the beige layer to get the depth of tint needed.
Note: The ‘Group of White Fur Layers’ isn’t strictly necessary but it’s easy to do and it helps to emphasise the arrangement and makes it easier to move things around.
Yes, but your tutorial looks much nicer then mine. 
There are usually at least three different ways of doing something and I usually get at least two of them mixed up and confused in my mind.
Thank you @AhabGreybeard and @Bleke!! Those tutorials were so wonderful. I had no idea I could even do that. I still have to play around with grouping the layers/tints. But I’m so excited to start playing with this new trick!! I ended up just doing CTRL+U and changing the hue/lightness on each fur layer. It took me a bit of time, but it mostly worked. I liked it better more white but wanted the person to be happy. Thank you again for taking the time to help out a beginner
You sure have a lot to explore there with all layer modes and combinations available.
It’s a bit of a science. Or magic if you prefer… it’s easy to get lost and confused.
I still haven’t quite figured out the tint. The first few layers I tried it on it only tinted the below layer. But on other layers it tinted the whole drawing, making something like fur difficult. Guess I just have to keep playing with it. Finally got the colorize mask down which makes life MUCH easier!
I prefer to think of it as magic it’s incredible this is a free program. Definitely going to be donating soon.
If you have problems or misunderstandings of that kind, it’s a good idea to post a screenshot of your entire window with the relevant dockers showing.
In this case, the Layers docker, with all the relevant layers showing in the docker.
It’s not actually magic but I can understand why it seems like that at first
The good thing is that you’re trying to do it and not just reading about it and that is the key to learning it all.
Anybody who makes an effort and finds the time to learn and practice can do it and understand how/why it works, as I’m sure you will in the near future.
EDIT: P.S. There’s a very good manual: https://docs.krita.org/en/
Good idea!! I think I’m going to keep messing with it a bit and see if I can figure it out. Learning by doing is really the best way to pick up the new skills. Although, the Krita manual and forums are such incredible resources. I’m just excited to keep practicing and learning. I started a commission account on Instagram, but it’s more to force myself to practice than the money. I used to do realistic acrylic paintings, then switched to minimalist watercolors. Now, trying to combine those methods with digital illustration is interesting. Very glad to have such a wonderful community to turn to when I’m stuck though!
