Done in 9~10 hours. Done mostly with a brush shaped after a bush xD I forgot to record a small part of the sketching, so it kinda skips, but no big deal. As for the music, I usually resort to Muse when I cannot find other music. They do the job quite well!
I get the same questions A LOT, so here's a small FAQ :)
- Program? I use Photoshop CS5.
- Tablet? I use Wacom Bamboo tablet.
- Art class? I'm self taught, not a single art class in my life.
- Layers? I work on very few layers. Most of the time, only one or two.
- Brushes? Nothing fancy, hard round default or chalk brush most of the time. Find or make brushes that suit you!
