As I promised to some of the people here, I'm releasing the first tutorial here.
This is the tutorial for how to do soft cell shading on Photoshop, based on my experience.
The version of Photoshop used in the tutorial is 6. If you use later versions, names of tools/modes and/or allocation of shortcut keys might be different.
I'm working on Windows, so if you use Mac please change these notations as: Ctrl to Command, Alt to Option.
Finally, such a wonderfully detailed tutorial. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.

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!
