@redj Hey Redj! 🙂 Thanks! Oh yes, on my recent experimentation, I noticed one way to gain in speed is with simplifying the shapes a bit more (and that's a good room for expressive dynamism of shape) and simplifying also the shading (a clear part in light, one in shadow, and half-tones, rim lights later, almost while painting accents). I really kept an interesting brush work on this one (full res: https://www.davidrevoy.com/data/images/blog/2022/2022-12-02_the-witch-and-the-book_speedpainting.jpg ) and I could bypass a line-art.
