Just wanted to share a little insight into what my picture went through from the start. Below are the technical details:

- Photoshop CS3
- Wacom Intuos 3 tablet (6x8)
- Original size and rez was at 2049 x 2774, 200 pixels/inch
- Primarily painted with a customized Charcoal Brush
- References were used
- Didn't keep track of time I'm afraid. Worked on this for many random days in a week between other drawings

If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them :)

Thanks for looking.

Hey, there. Thanks for all the comments. Sorry for being slow in getting back to you.

You asked what brush I used for the first sketch for my Dark Knight tribute. Well, it's nothing really fancy, it's Photoshop's default hard round (toggled between white and black). The poor jpeg conversion I think was what made it look soft, though.

Very kind of you to put this up!

I will try using overlay layers next time I paint. =)

I love it when people post tutorials. Thanks for sharing!
Just a question: why do you use a noise filter?

Sorry for the late reply.

It's just a little habit I like to get into when finalizing a finished piece. I like to think of it as a quiet way of eliminating the flawless digital feel of a picture that was done digitally. Even a perfect blank sheet of paper is not without some flaws if you look hard enough.

This kind of tutorial is extremely helpful. I see a lot of speed painting videos on YouTube, and the one thing I wished they'd do is slow down and explain what they're doing, what brush they're using, WHY they're doing this or that, etc.

I'd gladly pay for videos like that. Great work.

Ahh there are definitely a lot of great video tutorials like that (of course most aren't free). You should check out videos from The Gnomon Workshop in case you haven't heard of those.

No I hadn't heard of those, but it looks like there's some amazing stuff there. Any you'd recommend as a starter?

Well, if I had to choose which one to get first I'd start going through the By Instructors section and look up specific familiar artists name whose work I've admired and want to emulate. My advice is to look for those who reveal how they start a drawing on paper first before moving on to Photoshop. It really depends on you though and what style you want to achieve.
