Krita 5.0.0-beta2 (git e650032)
Done mostly using layers in a smart way, giving/editing each a different Filter: Levels (Ctrl + L) Output Levels when a single flat gray tone, or playing/finetunning Input Levels when more than one gray tone (such as the layer of main character, that includes drapery, skin and hair).
Krita 5.0.0-beta2 (git e650032)
Done mostly painting very crisp/sharp 100% opacity for each big shape separated as layers (that’s called “flats”), then painting over either (1) with Transparency Locked a duo/tritone followed by blur to blend, or (2) painting with the default settings of this default brush:
Truth is: I only used this brush for everything, the whole process from scratch to end. All I had to do was change it’s settings for each stage. For example: her fur coat is this same Krita default brush, only with the Rotation set to *Enable Pen Settings: Tilt direction.
PS.: Transparency Locked is specially useful after you done the flats
