Great job.
So the questions:
Yes I do these 100% in photoshop, but very often when I'm too tired to sit on computer I do some brain-storming in my sketchbook.
I usually don't like to start with pure white canvas, so I have medium grey background layer and then new layer where I do my sketch.
I use layers always when I add something new or test something. I try not to use too much layers and I merge them soon as possible. I have lot of brushes, but I like photoshop default brushes, like chalk and round brush. Some texture brushes are also good!
Good luck in art!
and in all of your work, actually c:
I'll for sure try the tutorial out! >w<
