    These tutorials have reignited my old love for Photoshop - before it was mainly commercial work. Not that I don't love the work I do for my clients, but this takes me back to art school and doing art for art's sake. Thanks!

    Excellent tutorial, Brady. After watching this, I started binge watching many other of your tutorials. After visiting your website and seeing the content you were offering, I decided to support the site. I have purchased small texture packs in the past, but am blown away at the content you provide and the instruction that you give here on KZread. It was a very easy decision to support what you are doing. Keep it up.

Now if only Photoshop could make a realistic/reliable outline AI tool with clean inking tool for just ink line work...like manga/comics have etc....that would be a massive time saver! I've tried many so called "ink sketch plugins" they all fail it's just taking a harsh threshold filter and creating ink outlines around the edges. One day!

    Is there a way to reduce the "area of effect" of the brush without reducing the size of the "strokes"?

I ran the action a few times, which gets slightly different results every time. Then stacked them in After Effects and cycled through the layer visibility, so they'd kind of jump around and look like new sketches on each frame. Haha, long answer!

    Photoshop, along with its compatible plugins and many processes are a marvel. However, the tutorial (above) doesn't really live up to its claim of producing realistic pencil sketches. The process described may give some people the sense of being a fine artist; but the result so often with digital tools employed to create "fine art looks" is mechanical and artificial.
