In the image above, I showcase the problem.
I have some marker brushes that have a nice texture on them which shows the tooth of the paper. I'd like to get a more consistent look when I'm coloring in an area, but when I go over the same area in more than one stroke, the paint darkens (Example #1 ). In example #2 I went over the same area, but within the same stroke. The color stays consistent in that case. This is the effect I want, but with multiple strokes. In example #3 I tried fixing the problem by selecting the area around the initial stroke with the magic wand and painting it in, but that leaves a white outline over the original stroke. Expanding the selection by 1 pixel results in a dark line between the strokes.
So is there a way to solve this problem so that I get a smooth, consistent look with multiple strokes, like in example #2 Where I only use 1 stroke?

Well I had the same problem but its not related with the op or anything.When you to go the brush presets there is an option called wet edges if its marked brush will overlap and if not it will give u the pure color hope that helps
Peace
i had the same problem, after i recognized my brush painting mode was on "multiply" instead of "normal" . After I changed it everything was ok.
make sure that your main opacity and flow settings (in top bar) are both at 100% and that the opacity percentage (transparency) is only adjusted within the layer
You're using a Brush that has transparency built into it. There's no way around that effect as a result without opening the .abr file and adjusting the opacity of the stroke which would defeat the purpose of using that brush to begin with.
For example here is a Watercolor Brush on white background:
If I remove the white background even though the brush flow and opacity is 100% you can see it contains different levels of transparency within the actual brush:
Your best bet is what you did in number two combined with masks to control the form.
I had good luck using the airbrush setting on my paintbrush:
Might not be the be-all, end-all solution, but it's worked so far for me.
Make the brush flow equal to 100%. This is on the top bar beside the size, opacity, and other settings. If this does not work make sure your opacity is up to 100%. You can try making a new layer and painting your next stroke on that layer. Attempt to put the blending mode on add if this does not work still. Keep troubleshooting.
