Okay, you can make certain layers all the same color in Illustrator (eg.
[head, ears, neck], [hair, eyebrows]), open them as layers in Gimp, and
then use selection masks to do your shading. This would be especially
useful for hair, I think. It might even be possible to save some time
this way.
Of course, if I get a tablet I might not have to do stuff like that as
often :)
