Chibi Art Cel Shaded Illustrator Process Tutorial

I just wanted to make a video explaining how I would ink and color in Illustrator. Mostly just the process. I'm hesitant to call this a tutorial, but hopefully, it will help someone. I've noticed I have a lot of new viewers who arrived from my 8-year-old Illustrator video. I don't use Illustrator much anymore but wanted to do an updated guide. There is no audio, but everything is subtitled. I have a bad habit of always watching tutorial videos with audio off and CC on so I just made it that way because that's what I like. This video is very, very long and not sped up. The inking section is mostly repetition, so feel free to skip ahead. This is not an intro to Illustrator tutorial and assumes you have some knowledge of the program. It's also made assuming you have sketches already. I hope this tutorial is useful. If there are any questions I can answer please let me know. I'm also posting a video showing how I would ink and color the same sketch in Procreate. If you would prefer a Procreate tutorial, please check the end of the video for a link to that tutorial or check my video list. If you want to follow along, here is a link to my sketch that you can download. This link contains all three sketches, the base sketch, the shadows sketch, and the highlights sketch. https://ko-fi.com/s/921f997a4a If you do follow along and color the sketch I would love to see what you create. Please share a link in the comments. I'm also okay with you sharing any illustrations on social media. I do ask that you give credit and possibly link back.

I tried my best to guess them.
