A while back, KairiValentine won a contest over in the dA group Legion-of-the-Horde. I was in the pool to do a prize picture, and instead of a WarCraft picture she asked me for a picture of a raver wolf named Madison.
Since I was not under a time or money constraint, I decided to try that digital painting-without-lines method that is all the rage these days. I watched some videos since I had never attempted it.
I'm reasonably satisfied, but probably won't be going down this route with any regularity. For me it takes too long and is pretty tedious, and it obviates any inking (which is the part I actually enjoy, and the only part I think I'm fairly good at).
I hope she likes her picture!

I watched various videos of people doing speedpaints and the like on YouTube, where you can just search Photoshop Painting and get thousands of hits. A lot of artists have links from their pages here and on dA of process videos. I also have been looking at WiPs for some time, trying to figure out how people are doing things. My dA Favorites has a folder of process tutorials that I've found helpful in some way.
Of particular interest, VeraMundis has a Livestream channel, and on it there's an archived video of him working that's a solid five hours long. He works mostly in SAI, which is not much like Photoshop (although my yet-uninstalled CS5 has a lesser version of the great SAI color picker), but watching him work for a couple hours at a time was instructional.
Mostly, I learned that there are few if any shortcuts.
