Dan from Street Fighter

Inked with a customized basic_ink_tilt_20 preset (decreased brush tip fade to about 0.20, both for horizontal and vertical, to get smoother lines). Then painted the color blocks with texture_paint_chalk with size controlled by stylus pressure and opacity set to 100%. Each group (clothes, hair...) had its own layer. Then the alpha channel was locked to prevent painting outside the lines and the basic_airbrush was used to paint the shadows and highlights.

Kill Bill: Hand on Sword

Quick study of this scene from the movie Kill Bill.
Painted with a customized texture_paint_chalk preset: disabled opacity controlled by pressure (opacity is set manually using "I" and "O" keyboard shortcuts), the pressure makes the size of the brush vary. The basic_airbrush with the blending modes multiply and soft light was used to create the background gradient.
