Things for the Curious
-          Have  fun with it.
-          Don't worry about being a stickler for details. Some of my previous favs have drastically changed my character designs.
-          No Gore or overly sexual tones. Keep it PG-13.
-          It cannot feature anyone else's characters as they would be subject to Copyrights. This includes past iterations of Alice in Wonderland characters!
-          Please leave me a link to the finished art in the comments below. I will do a DA search fo

I recorded the first 363 minutes of the process.
With a few cuts where the video bugged and after accelerated x64, it gives this 7min30 video.

The first 2 minutes: the lining (4 pixel, pen pressure management activated, up to 4000 pixels for the maximum dimension - width here). This line is then reduced to opacity of 33% in Multiply mode above the artwork.

The following 2 minutes: the coloring, one layer for each different parts of the drawing ... (Non-exhaustive list of layers: face, neck, fringe, headband, left ponytail, right ponytail, arms, sailor collar, bust, skirt, etc.).

The remaining 3 minutes are the process of hair (only the fringe was filmed but it is the same technique for the rest of the hair) and face (eyes were modified and narrowed thereafter, with a little extra lift)

For the next video I'll film more "real process" (full hair and faces, cloth, sword, etc.). and zapp the Lining and Coloring steps that are much less interesting.
