The only downside to a single layer is that if you mess up... you're screwed. Otherwise, I get why people like doing single layers (or maybe a separate layer for the lineart).
uhh what exactly do you mean? you know I like to screw up a lot so... please warn me beforehand T_T
I especially like that there are so less layers because I can't accidentally draw on the wrong one, and having 100 layers on the side is bleh too... it will also help me with getting a feeling for colors, as it really depends a lot on color choices and stuff... I'm doing a bit of shading now of tiddie-kei xD and I think I'm doing actually ok...^^
also for your Sapphira, I think I found a nice hair shading what goes well together with the whole picture. I'll send you a mockup once I'm done with the whole hair ^^ //multitasking at 6 am lol
