Need help with contrast in paint tool sai/PS

Hello It's me again and before i spam you with my previous problem i just want to say thank you to all that have helped me with the speedpaintng advice, you all were very helpful!

My newest problem is contrast i get the coloring part, but there's a problem, whenever im in sai and im doing a painting the color turns out pale, like the picture will be done and it will look pale altogether when its finished. I need some advice to make it look darker but not losing color or the light source. Thank you

Here's and example -->

It came out too dark because it was on a multiply layer set to 50 %

I don't think the contrast is extremely bad here... if you are using the right colours (I assume so, as otherwise you would only need to take more saturated colours), you could try to take a harder brush, so the edges will give the image more contrast.
Of course you can also use the filter for Stauration and contrast to make it better in the end...
an even dirtier method would be exporting the image as pixel-image and manipulating it with gimp/photoshop as in both there are much more settings for this...

you have a point and multiplying and overlaying it is making the contrast werid even with lower opasity. I'll try the method that you told me excuding the gimp/ps one cause that sounds too messy to do.

Well, yeah, with exporting, you loose all information like layers or effects, only the result of that is exported.
That is especially bad when using vector-lines which would be exported as simple black pixels...
So, it would be best when you try to use the internal filters or using different colours/brushes.
