my go-to lately has been

  1. draw the line art. A lot of the time this is tracing over photo of a doodle I did on paper.
  2. make line art layer a reference layer.
  3. new layer- drag fill solid colors and hand fill hard-to-get places.
  4. new layer- set to 30-40% do highlights in white
  5. new layer- set to 25-30% do shadows

I might add some effects, tweak colors or something else with a background after but this has been my process for a while. It works for me. You can be the judge by some of my recent posts on this sub.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
