What tools (apart from PS) do you use to achieve 'digital' sketches..? I am after recommendations and wonder whether you use saayyy a Wacom tablet and pen maybe? Thanks man!
I'll give you the best advice anyone will ever give you. Practice. Practice. And practice some more. If that stumps you, read Malcolm Gladwell's “Outliers”. Spoiler alert, I'll save you $20 and tell it to you right now – it's 10,000 hours of practice. If you put in 10,000 hours of anything in life you'll be an expert in that field. If you have any inkling on being a master artist – that's your answer. Paint, draw, doodle. Whatever you do, just keep doing it. I doubt I'll get any arguments there.

Hi! which tool you use for your sketches?
Photoshop or my sketchbook 🙂
I want to sketch and paint like you!
Awesome as always! I'm curious what brush you used for that chalk look, is it a custom one?
I think it's the sponge projection brush, it's a standard brush in CS6.
Thanks. I'm on CS3. Going to have to go looking for it or find a way to duplicate it. I like it's texture.

Dang it. Pro's “quick doodles” are way better than my full blown “projects”.
