I just watched Spirited Away. It was quite good.
I may have become an anime convert. Anyone have any suggestions for further viewing?

COWBOY BEBOP, COWBOY BEBOP, COWBOY BEBOP, COWBOY BEBOP, COWBOY BEBOP, COWBOY BEBOP, COWBOY BEBOP, COWBOY BEBOP,
That is all.

Although with Akira they did a newer English dub for the DVD which they sort of did seriously, instead of having the hilarious shouting in the original 1980s VHS dub which ruined the DVD in my opinion.
Also, Samurai Champloo is quite good for an anime. But Akira and Cowboy Bebop I hold up as actually being good, not just as anime but as actual film/television series. Most other anime is just irritating, bland and formulaic.

May not be anime but it's really good and I'm watching it now.

I put all the detail into the single black layer.
Then I did the shadow (two/three layers - this one was three)
Add the hair underneath, then make some of it lighter and more saturated, some lighter and less saturated, then darker and saturated, darker and unsaturated.
That gives the hair a more detailed effect.
Then the eyes, which is a few similarly colours shapes, I play around with the blending modes until it looks right.
Then the skin, a single skin tone.
Add the lips, which are also pretty simple.
Then a lighter layer.
Do the clothes like I described the hair.
Accessories are pretty simple, too.
It's rarely boring, it's like a little adventure :D
The thing I find is that it's not the colours that change, it's the shade, meaning you can have very few colours, and lots of different shades of those colours.
It looks a bit more natural then.
Yes, I only just figured that out.

but it still sounds like a lot of work, time-wise.
