Found a quick trick for organizing layers in big art files

I was working on a character illustration with like 50 layers and kept losing track of which one had the shading. Started naming each layer with a color code like "skin_shadow_blue" and grouping them by body part. Saves me maybe 20 minutes of clicking around per session. Anyone else got a system that keeps their layer panel from looking like a mess?

Oh neat, I just name mine after whatever snack I'm eating at the time.

Ugh, same here. It's a mood thing, honestly.
