coloring a cartoon character

This time I show you how I color my drawings in illustrator. Remember there are a zillion ways to do this and this is just one of them. Often I switch to Photoshop for special FX or use Photoshop to color the whole drawing. It depends on what sort of look I'm trying to achieve.

any way you could explain 1:13-1:15? you hid the 'lines' layer so you could see the pink shapes left over, then you selected one, but then somehow you selected all of them without clicking them individually. How did you do that? Also once you had them all selected, did you just 'delete' them? or did you do something else? ps this video helped me more than most videos, but I would love if is were a bit slower with more descriptions...thank you so much!

@bboysloth I indeed hid the lines layer so I could see al magenta left overs. I selected one of those pink shapes and then goto select select same, colour and line. (I used the shortcut in this video) After selecting al the magenta left-over-shapes I just deleted them. To get rid of the unwanted stuff and keep the file clean.
