Hmm, in some cases you could duplicate the layer and play with my Threshold brush: Filter brush scripts, FireAlpaca or MediBang Paint - then play with blending modes and clipping.
It's also given me some ideas for modifications of the threshold brush for creating better clipping layers for masking effects - thanks!

Do you know any brushes that you would suggest

It is difficult to suggest particular brushes without a specific task in mind.
The standard brushes are a very good base to start from.
Here are are some locations for brushes: fire-alpaca.deviantart.com/gal… and fpacatuto.tumblr.com/tagged/cu… and everythingfirealpaca.tumblr.co… and everythingfirealpaca.tumblr.co… and zirkainfinity.deviantart.com/f… and, of course, lmgtfy.com/?q=FireAlpaca+brush
Personally, I have some of the following brushes, although several of them are waiting in the wings for if/when they are needed, rather than installed or in day-to-day use:
BP: Freebie Brush Pack for FireAlpaca [UPDATED!!] from cocobunnie
Converted FireAlpaca Brushes from KittyKittyKittyzz (see also her blending Brushes )
FireAlpaca Brushes 1 from AtsusaKaneytza
graphite (pencil) sketch brush in FireAlpaca from StrawberryVirus
script brushes from relma2
A couple of chalky bitmap brushes from Azuli over at EverythingFireAlpaca
One or two bitmap brushes from ActuallyAradia

I've seen one example where an artist uses this technique to add subtle (very low opacity and appropriate layer blending) overall lighting and shading to the whole character (pale warmer tones to the top half, cooler tones to the lower half) after finishing the detailed colouring and shading (which also used this technique).

Thanks for your feedback!
Interestingly, I usually tend to prefer flood fills and clipped layers, but I only pretend to be a hobbyist cartoonist and I'm generally happy with flood-filled flat colours and at most a little cel shading.
I can see how this approach would be preferred by the more painterly people and those using more subtle colouring and shading.

I posted a link to this page in the comments for Ani's post/answer, but depending on how you view EverythingFireAlpaca you may not have seen the comments list (which also contains likes and reblogs).
