For the dark hands, I copied the original drawing cut the hands out, as shown, and applied a gradient colour. I set the shape’s Transparency to “Multiply” (Fig.25). I applied the same principle to the body, but simply changed the colour of the horns. Here is a subsurface-scattering-like effect – a term they use with regards to 3D renderings (Fig.26). I applied the gradient mesh on the spikes down his back (Fig.27). A gradient mesh was also used for the shoulder pad (Fig.28), as well as on the bone showing above his head (Fig.29).

The glass of milk also used a gradient mesh (Fig.30), but the teeth only had a regular gradient applied (Fig.31).

To finalise the effect, I set about applying some hard-edged shadows. I set the colour filled-object to multiply and the opacity to 40%, just for some soft coloured shadows (Fig.32).

Last but not least, a white colour-filled shape was added: the milk moustache (Fig.33). Got milk?
