Since I inherited an ancient Wacom tablet, I have been searching for the perfect brush settings to replicate authentic marker drawing. Just copying your settings in step 4 has already freed my creativity; can't wait to try this one out for real! Wonderful tutorial!

Since I don't have Illustrator, I will experiment with Photoshop.

I defintiely think the man's expression is graceful and evokes something in me. Maybe it could be complemented by a powerful word or message. Look into maybe some long and rounded font styles. "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." Ephisians 6:1 Your idea to develop this technique is impressive and greatly appreciated dude.

You have greater color depth and effects in RGB which is helpful during the working process. Then when you are ready, convert. This is actually about one half of my workflow. I convert to smart objects and bring them over to photoshop and add texture and stuff ... (make new file) Flatten and then convert to CMYK before printing.
