HOW TO SCREECH ART + 'Thorn' steps

FINISHED PIC: [link]
HOW TO SCREECH ART: PUT FACE ON SCREEN --> BE A LAMPREY --> HERPADERP --> ART HAPPENS

anyway
this is basically how I normally do things.

Did this because I do get a lot of questions on how I arts. Many of them are on neo, and every time I do something for the art gallery there it's just
WOOSH FLOOD OF QUESTIONS

Tried to not make it wordy because honestly I don't even read the tutorials with paragraphs and paragraphs because ugh attention span. So tiny.
these questions are answered above but w/e I put them here too.

FAQ.
What program/tablet do you use? PS CS2 FOR THE LOVE OF GOD everyone thinks I use Sai. And I've always used Adesso brand tablets. They're cheap and durable as all hell. (on my second one ever and my first one didn't even break I just wanted a new one kdsjhkds)

What brush settings do you use? Depends on the pic but it's usually the generic round brush at 3 or 5 pixels. For lineart my brush settings are opacity-100 and flow-80 or 70, and I ALWAYS have pen pressure on. For shading opacity ranges from as low as 5 to 90. Hardly ever 100%. I really only use that one hard round brush. 8I


THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK OF RIGHT NOW
might add to this if anyone has any other questions
