I think it's latter - at Pixiv this was among earliest and most detailed pictures. Artist use same brush 90%+ of the time for outlines with minor changes, coloring may differ widely depending on piture theme. On simpler pictures there is one brush for everything save for thickness. What I like about Alison's style is that pictures have "detail level: just enough".
