Yay, signature!

Ooo, you can really see the progression from your flat base colors, to all the extra shade and highlights YOur shading goes a bit deeper than many would in such a tutorial, and that's quite nice to see I'm not sure if I knew that grouped layers auto-masked each other... Nice extra bit of info! I;ve ued dodge modes recently, but rarely have seen them given such an extra sense of seperate detail... -nod- It's even easier to appreciate all you mini-details, now

So you linework was all digital, I'd assume, to get it to A: Fill so well with the lasso tool and B: Get it seperated onto it's own layer, without the white background. recently did a tutorial about seperating ones lineart from the canvas using channels (For those who just scan the stuff in) that would be a pretty good companion to this tutorial of yours, even!

Once again, very nicely done, you presented everything very well!
