Great tutorial, i just have a few questions. When you say you drew him with a lead pencil and used a red pencil for the background. Did you do this on/with a tablet or the actual paper? Sorry if its a dumb question :S

The line art was drawn on paper in this case, not digital.

Thanks, a great tutorial, I especially liked how you went into detail about the way light affects different materials and how the lines are lighter on an object being flooded with light. Greater than your average tut. Thanks!

Interesting. 
However, I tried that trick in Photoshop, with separating the line art, just like it mentions in the tutorial. I may be doing something wrong, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Very VERY useful. I like the focus on lighting, I'll keep that in mind in my later pieces.
Faved.

Here's the 'Line Art Trick' summarized:
Step 1) Flatten your image and make it grayscale.
Step 2) Go to your 'Channels' window in Photoshop.
Step 3) Click the circular dotted 'Selection' button at the bottom of the Channels window pane.
Step 4) Invert your selection (hot key = Shift + Ctrl + i)
Step 5) Create a new layer.
Step 6) Use the Fill bucket and fill in your selection on this new layer with black, thus reproducing all the lines art on a transparency without the white of the paper.
Step 7) Delete your original Background layer and save your layered PSD file.
