This first example I've taken the darker-than-the-object-line approach. One of my problems with this is that I expanded the pixels too much when colouring the lines which left the lines fatter than they originally were. Also, I lost the crispness of the line that I had got through using illustrator. This could be remedied by using the "feather" or "smooth" option in theory. It's quite time consuming too, since I'd still have to do the original line work and then choose which lines to colour in which shades etc. That being said, it does look quite cute. I left the eyes in dark grey because the eyes are the focal point of emotion and so will need to *pop* more than the other features. I also applied a texture to the image but I don't really like that.
For the second image, I've gone for the whole make-the-lines-brown option. If all the lines remain the same colour then it is as simple as adjusting the hue on the line layer. However, as you can see in this image, the colour is sometimes too light for some of the darker areas of the image which gives a weird sort of appearance that I'm not keen on at all. This can be remedied by making the line colour darker, but by the time it's dark enough, it may as well be the grey that I'm using because you won't even notice the brown huge. I've yet to try removing the lines. It's doable but it will be a bit irritating.
