I absolutely love this method when I’m doing character cookies (and working for free lol).

I project the characters and roughly block out the colored shapes and fill the backgrounds with flood consistency. They dry mostly flat.

Then, I go over them with black lining. Especially with a cartoony theme like this, I like the look of a little overflow or imperfections when the color doesn’t quite fit inside the lines.

I just think they end up looking so clean and smooth, and it’s so much faster than trying to block out and separate the colors in different consistencies.
