Here is a Hell Boy portrait that I created using CS2 Photoshop and a Graphire3 tablet. I am still having trouble creating portraits and so I will keep practicing. But for now and for this one I am satisfied with.
Done with three layers
1. Lineart ( Sketch )
2. Color ( Main Painting )
3. Overlay layer for smoke effect.
I used the standard hard brush, soft brush, and chalk brush.
I also implemented a cross hatch method which I don't often use and I am happy with the results.
