Description
At the request of a watcher~ No I do NOT take drawing requests still, but something like this that will be at the benefit of everybody I was happy to work on, especially since it gave me a reason to not only color an old piece of mine, but also just to make another flippin tutorial x,DHopefully it's understandable, and if you have any questions/suggestions of future tutorials just leave a comment below~
And I decided to not go into detail of drawing every single solitary shape after the first few, because it'd just be me repeating what I already said before. The only difference with shapes that are higher up is you may have more layers that you'll need to hide

Heya, thanks very much for this tut hun~ I think this will come in handy for me in the future. I sort of understood where you were going with labeling each layer. I do that too xD

This was a great tutorial! I learned a couple new things from reading this 
Also, I've discovered two things that you can try out for yourself in return for all the help you have provided me with from before
Here is one more thing that can save you time. For the extra step you need in Photoshop of filling in each closed path that you create, Illustrator automatically fills in each object as you are creating them. The automatic fill for both Open and Closed objects could be saving you a lot of time in my opinion! Once you have the color paths filled out, you can export the file as a .psd to continue working in photoshop.
I think that, together, illustrator and Photoshop are great to use hand in hand!

I'm glad that it could be helpful for you! And as far as tapering lines vs filling them, the one that I use here is specifically one that I use for lineless work- and the other I use for outlined pieces. Both serve an equally handy purpose and I don't have a "preference" of one over the other. Because I use both just depending on the situation
And also I do technically have them grouped, but it's all just in one large folder. I don't like making numerous individual folders for a singular character's shapes because it makes it harder for me to look at xD;; I do make folders within folders for other purposes though :> Like with outlined images, I'll have a folder for the character, then within it it'll have outlines, shading, and color all separated, along with any other effects that the particular character has.
That color guide tool sounds pretty nifty! Though I actually use an online program for a similar thing if I'm ever stuck for what colors I want to use in an image :D colorschemedesigner.com/
And I'm actually familiar with that as well, since I had to learn how to use Illustrator for much of my Graphic Design class. Personally I don't like the idea since that'd mean my sketch could get covered up before I get it planned out/lined up right where I want it to be. But I understand in other cases or for other people that it'd be very useful
Great work Kito

I've always wondered how such a thing is done

You're very welcome! Glad it could be of some help~
I actually couldn't understand how to do lineless art any other way than this! x,D The idea first came to me when I made my old Paper Mario styled Boo plushie, wherein I layered several different pieces of felt in order to create his mouth and face

Not everybody- just me personally, as I mentioned in the start of the tutorial
Glad it could be of some use to you!
Actually- it's only been a few months that I've been in art school,
and none of what you see here in this tutorial was learned from it. 
All of the digital artwork I do, and in fact art in GENERAL, has been through self motivation and self teachings- just going out and looking at different tutorials and looking up to different artists. So don't think in the slightest that you can't eventually achieve what I can, because it's all within your reach. :] You've just gotta take the steps up to reach it

You're welcome! xD I wanted to make it for everyone, but I'm really glad you made the suggestion of it! :>
