would you mind sharing what pencil brush you use, particularly in your recent Alduin drawing? :]

sure! it's from Kyle Webster's Real Media Megapack. i use that plus his watercolor pack, but there were oils and impasto packs as well, basically a huge scope of real media imitations - I believe they're no longer available for purchase and download since he partnered with Adobe some years ago, though there might still be something floating around if you can hunt them down The brush in the pack is specifically, Perfect Pencil 1 at 6px, in photoshop CS5. later editions of photoshop (particularly any CC version) deploy the brush how it's meant to be, which is a lot less sharp and crisp. Most of my full illustrative stuff (that isnt directly painted as-is like deathclaugust and character designs) uses the Wet & Wild watercolor for shading!
