I've cobbled together my inking and coloring process from several different sources over the last few years. here is my process for how I quickly finish my art.
The line overshooting and breaking apart I learned from Clay Butler's video

THIS WAS A LIFE SAVER! This cut about 40 minutes for me on the designs I was working with.
Amazing tutorial, Brad! I've watched this video a couple of years ago, but watching it again (now with more Illustrator experience) made so much more sense! Appreciate it!
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. I have watched other ones, but this one explains what some menu options do in a nice, breezy way.
Super Tutorial! Very clean and clear. I paused it several times, just to try the techniques out for myself! Thank you - keep it up!
Exquisite tutorial Brad; I've watched numerous tutorials on how to achieve this in Illustrator and you've done it the best, bar none. *Thank you so much!*
So your tutorial changed my life. It's been a hardcore new trick to learn, but it's soooooooooooo worth it. I'm so grateful. Thank you !
This is brilliant thank you so much. I didn't not know you could group and ungroup vertices like that to quickly defeat overlay. I can even cut short my drawing time by hours. Those highlight and shadow techniques are magnificent, great work man, this makes me feel confident in the learning process.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! I notice the thread here about Photoshop and Illustrator and they really are SPECIFICALLY designed for two VERY DIFFERENT purposes. If you want good vector DRAWINGS that aren't pixelated you want ILLUSTRATOR.
This is a much faster way to work! I primarily use Autodesk Sketchbook Pro for all my cartooning, but I had no idea Illustrator could be so much more easier to use. All this time I thought I had to use the pen tool! Thank you so much for sharing😀
This video completely changed the game for me, addressed a whole load of issues that I didn't even realise I had! Thanks!!!
I’ve watched a couple of similar videos and your version is by far the easiest to understand. Thanks!
This is the best tutorial I've come across !!
Thank u so much !! I used your tips n my work is already looking better 😁👍😀 hope u have a great day! N be blessed with bounty!! 😀😁
great work and fast as well. can't wait for more.
I love the credit he gives to Clay Butler for that technique with live paint, also this is an awesome tutorial
I had gone through like five other videos on coloring and this is the first one that actually explained it to me thank you!
This is fantastic! Very inspiring and you're a great teacher!
When doing the highlights I've been using gradients, so when it gets to the edge it blends out.
That was excellent! I really found watching your processes informative. Please produce more!
Great video. Thanks for sharing the techniques, they were extremely useful.
this is by far the best method I've seen and the clearest instructions. some use the slice tool for the highlights and shadows but that doesn't work for me because I'm not very confident in placing the light and shadow and if i slice it it's harder to reverse the process later. thanks for sharing
This is great, I will use the transparency on areas that I want to highlight or have shadows. I love your artwork.
I just wanted to thank you for this! It is still very much useful 5 years later, i was getting soo fusterated on the coloring aspect, as it was nothing like drawing programs like sai/clip art. But i am excited to try again!! 🌟
One of the best tutorials ever!! Loved it!
This was awesome! This was a very well-thought-out, excellently-executed video tutorial. Thank you so much!
This blew my mind! I'm a pro with Photoshop and InDesign, but I just can't get use to Illustrator for detailed projects. I had no idea Illustrator had a full on painting mode. I can't wait to try these techniques! Thank you!
What an excellent tutorial! Lots of extremely useful tips.
Man I love it! About to Convert this video for my High School students to study and practice with. You are awesome, well spoken, and very clear. Peace.
that is such a great way to colour, I've always done in a way that took so long. Thanks for the great tutorial
Some of the tools I used before - but in this context ....very useful! Clearly explained. Short and firm video. Thks a lot!
This tutorial was the best I've seen so far and it helped ALOT! I LOVED IT. thank you so much
Best tutorial I’ve seen so far. I really hate inking in illustrator but I have to learn it.
I enjoyed watching it. Such a nice and relaxing voice.
Alina Scherschneva I've been watching a lot of tutorials lately, and his voice is the first to not bore me. I actually wanna watch more videos. XD
same here ..!!
Aint it tho! lol.
Thanks for sharing , real nice work flow and the technique certainly worth an applause
Thank you so much for this video. I have a homework assignment that needs me to use illustrator. Since I am starting all these tips are wonderful. Thank you for sharing and helping other artists out.
Thank you so much!!! That technique is a life saver, like I had no idea how to do that exact thing and then boom - it is actually sooo easy! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💙
excellent! it's rare that i learn anything from these youtube tutorials. i learned a ton from this one!
Mind. Blown. I've lost untold hours of my life using the Pathfinder tool to cut overlapping shapes in order to create the final, fillable, shapes that I need for an illustration. Your process seems so much faster .. AND yields nicer results with variable line weights. (I've relied on the Width Tool plus an extra layer to create varied-width outlines .. nice results, but time-consuming.) Thanks for sharing your excellent tutorial!
Thanks for the awesome Tutorial Brad!
I'm just learning to use Illustrator at the moment and came across your video. Very useful, thank you!
this is possibly the best illustrator video i've seen in my life :) thank you so much
WOW, what a fantastic technique!
wow, the whole tutorial is so efficient and clear, thank you so much!!
Awesome! The lines are very natural looking while staying in vector
Thanks for making this video and walking through the process. I learnt a lot.
This a a fantastic tutorial: informative, engaging, and concise! Thank you.
Very useful. I did a drawing but I used the Shape builder tool to get rid of the overshooting lines, without expanding or using live paint. However, I think your workflow might be more useful. The painting trick with the transparencies is pretty cool.
Amazing information! First time understanding the Live Paint options!
I wish I could give this 5 stars - awesome tips - thank you!
You just saved me SSOOOO much time it's insane. THANK YOU!
Wow I think your up there with the best tutorials!
WOW, brand new to illustrator and that was absolutely inspiring sir. Thank you sooooo much
Wow. Great drawing ( the character's posture is perfect) and excellent teaching. And a big thanks for the shout out to my video. Glad it's working for you.
i just start practicing illustrator today and yea this video gave me so much idea on how to use different techniques to make it easier to make an awesome illustration.. Thank you so much for this video..
That was great explanation Brad, Thanks for the tutorial, it's helpful to understand,
And you also explaine things to topics & smoothly
It's so clear! Kudos to your first tutorial and may it be the first of many. Thanks a lot
need a little elaboration on how you chose the gradient colors though
Subscribed! Amazing job teaching these different techniques.
man every artist draws different u learn so much from different people
Holy crap that was an amazing vid. Simple, concise and super easy to follow.
Been learning a little at a time,as i need it. I've watched this before,a few times,a light just came on now! Don't think that because this is a Cartoon It's too simplistic,these techniques work for anything u may be drawing,and will make sense as u need it,THANK YOU.
Thank you Brad. What a nice vid tutorial. I hope to learn more.
This is THE BEST tutorial ever I watched recently. Most of the mysteries I've been wondering about the illustrator are relieved. Kudos friend!
Great video! I'd love to see some of the speedpaints you hinted at.
Really nice! My Surface Pro 4 should arrive tomorrow and I'm looking forward to test out your technique.
awesome. clean, neat and simple.
Thank you for the videos. Fun to watch and educational.
Awesome. I finally get to know some easy tricks to help me!
Wonderful vidoe! You explain everything so well. looking forward for more videos from you.
Your explanations are very clear! Thank you for this video!
Illustrator has always been a struggle for me, this video really helped!!!! Thank you!!! :D
i watched a few in the last few days. yours in the first 8 mins has helped more than the rest put together. lol
Whenever I turn my group into a live paint group and expand my strokes automatically chop up. If there is a line it will lose a section. Any idea how to fix this?
Very well done! Straight to the point, no exaggerations, good tips. Professional and clean work. Thank you. You could add a speech bubble and let us know what he is saying or a thought bubble with smaller bubbles under it to show what he is thinking.
Great tutorial!! I learned so much in that 12mins!! Thank you for sharing your techniques!!
real skill makes this look easy.
great vid - thanks!
Oooooo that expand appearance option is so cool!!! :D
This is just amazing. I've learnt so much from watching this video. Thank you
This method is amazing! And is too quick for inking and colouring!
This was the best video! Thank you. I'm brand new to any form of Illustrator. I did watch Clay's video and it was great but you helped me work out the bits I was missing with colouring. You went slow enough that I could find the paint tool...lol.
Could you also do a tutorial on how to make a watercolor-like painting?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge - this has been a great help
Finally! a tutorial that I enjoyed and made sense. I started laughing when you would copy and paste each one, because I thought to myself this is a man that has regretted some things lol. Great tutorial, thank you!
You really helpt me with my illustrator work! I could not figure out to work the paint bucket and some other things as well. Been looking online soo much.. So thank you for this tutorial!
Wow i love your style!
This is EVERYTHING I'm looking for. Subsribed.
Dude, this is fantastic! Thank you!
i was in a 6 day illustrator course and haven't even learned a fraction of this. (well cartoonists are rare in those courses) So thanks a lot. just what i needed, keep rewatching over and over while doing my linework...
Very vey helpful sir. Thanks for all of your reviews and explanations.
i was searching for a lot of the things you said for a long long time.. thank you
thanks so much for this video *furiously goes and reworks all past artwork*
Thank you for sharing Brad..I have really learnt a lot from this tutorial
Wow impressive creativity. Thank you for inspiration and great tutorial :)
That was really helpful, my fave video about illustrator drawing 👍
This is the best tutorial ever. Thank you. God bless you!
Absolute lifesaver. Thank you so much!!!
Love this. I’ve image traced and expanded an image .there were still gaps in my lines so I used the pen to close them. However live paint still won’t select the objects. I tried selecting all and expanding but this didn’t do anything. I’m going to try copying the whole image and expanding. I love your new brush and shadows too so I will try that. Many thanks!
Best video about this topic ive seen!
Thank you!
Thanks so much Brad! This tutorial was very helpful! 👏😄
nice tutprial.I'd appreciate one where you go through a diversity of illustrations and walk us through your shading process. Whenever I'm shading things they always seem a little off, but it seems so natural for you. I'd love to see that process.
