Digital Graphite

There's been a very strong trend toward graphite/pencil rendering that's taken hold of illustration in the past several years. Yet I don't want to abandon my digital rendering because it is so much cleaner, so I was looking for effective Photoshop brushes to simulate pencils. I ended up asking an artist on Behance what he uses, and then went tutorial hunting and experimenting with brushes. This was a trial, which I think looks pretty encouraging (although her pupils look weirder reduce in the preview. Hunh.). It might be even more interesting if I tried drawing from a photo reference. Maybe I'll try that next.
