Whole drawing was done in paint tool SAI

Funny how I spent half a year looking for good cell-shade tutorial and in the end doing things my own way=.= Cell-shading requires beefy computer, especially when you have different characters drawn separately. Oh man... This is the process of my latest picture poki-art.deviantart.com/art/No… I learned a lot and I thought that I could share it.
This picture was drawn in paint tool sai + went to photoshop to draw the gradient and add texture at the ending steps, and sparkles in some shaded areas and hair highlight (forgot to add the commentary!)
For shading itself I used brush tool (not marker) set to hard edge and almost no blending. Market felt like having too sharp edges in my opinion and i didnt feel like having much control over it's acting.

Anyway, here it goes, I hope you like it. Im not any pro, and I just started, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Also please visit the version posted on my blog (it's better to see how things changed by clicking on the picture and then using arrows to change to next one)

Some good cell-shade tutorials:
Shilin's photoshop cell-shade tutorial
Coloring tutorial by redricewine (its not pure cell-shade but I really like it)
Cell-shade mini tutorial by Blue-ten
