Just a practice sketch from Easter dinner at folks house, dolled up a little.

Yeah, pretty much. Inked it, scanned into Photoshop.
1) Set it to monochrome, cleaned up the background as much and adjusted levels to make it as black as possible. Made a copy, discarded the background layer.
2. Stroked it 1 pixel and changed it back to RGB - was tempted to use the Cutout filter which sometimes cleans up lines, but it kept turning the buttons all black - changed black to purple, inversed selection and deleted the background white.
3. Painted/filled block on a new layer beneath it. Selected color range for similar areas (coat, face, each leg, etc.) and saved the selection - dodge-burn, airbrush, etc.
4. Did eyes on their own layer(s) - still futzing with anime' vs. realistic vs. conventional cartooney eyes. (sometimes 'beady all-shiny black eye factor' is much better than kawaii japanese eyes.)
5. Did background (this case a watch altered through several steps and filtered within an inch of its life.).
6. Cast shadow was a pain - finally settled on making copy of the 'colors' layer, since it covered most of the rabbit, changed that to monochrome, 'grew' the selection to make cutout lines dissappear, set the layer to high transparency and then 'transformed selection' to match it up to the cane feet bases.
7. Floor was a solid color box, Add Noise filter, then use the transform selection to squash it so the background noise is blurrier than the foreground.
8. Add border (more filters and tweaks etc.)
Overall just a kinda basic photoshop exercise.
Usually when I scan b/w art I just use the top level on 'Multiply' and paint on layers beneath it, rather than leaving it opaque, but I wanted purple lines this time, and couldn't figure out a way to keep the background from blenting with the foreground when using 'multiply'. :P
Brute force ftw?
