I pick my colors by hand, but a shadow layer multiplied over a local color layer + a final opaque layer for highlights and reflected light = quick results.
Helpful especially if you're struggling with a workflow that's consistent. It looks decent even over these bullshit inks.
I seem to have less patience for second pencil passes the older I get -- and tend to jump straight to inks more often -- but I've tried to be a better person and do some cleanup before that final step.
