Should I use a clipping mask for this? Am I approaching this the wrong way?

Greetings and Salutations!

 

     I am currently creating some cycling jerseys for my friends and I. Im fairly new to Illustrator, so I created my "Proof" in Photoshop.

This is what it is suppose to look like.

Now that the proof got a thumbs up, i need to vectorize this and get it ready for print.

Though I've run into a small issue. Im not sure exactly how I should proceed in correcting this.

 

 

I lay the outline of the Lion down

I then created a "fill" layer with an opacity of 50%

Together they form the feline version of Voltron

Now I need to insert the yellow Lion. Thus I duplicate both layers and change the light blue to a yellow, and this happens due to the opacity of the "fill" layer

You can see the yellow lion in behind the blue lion! Expected since i have the fill layer at 50%!

I dont know how to correct this. I was thinking of making a clipping mask for Lion #2

But wasnt sure if thats what i needed to do. Can anyone give me advice?

I feel like I am toying with unknown technology and ive accidentally created a monster! Halp before it gains consciousness!
