Armoured dragon digital painting in Photoshop plus video process

I started a random piece a while back working in gray scale in Photoshop a while back, started as a bit of a doodle of a dragons head from the side view, I ended up spending quite a bit of time on the dragon and decided to add armour too. There will be a lot wrong with this painting especially how the lighting reflects off the metal and such but I still thought it was a pretty cool design so carried on anyways :P
I painting this dragon head over the period of about 5 hours in Photoshop CS6 using a Wacom Cintiq 13 HD. I want to start some tutorials when it comes to drawing dragons but I have very little experience with them to be giving other people tips, plus I am so slow at working that I think it would just bore people too much, we will see, maybe in the future..
Speaking of video tutorials, I have recorded the full process of this painting and sped it up to be a digital art time lapse video.

Copic sketch markers and working traditionally

Hey everyone,
I purchased some copic sketch markers, the cool gray colours, I have been doodling with them and then I have sketches 2 pin up girl pieces, I am not gonna lie, I am finding them extremely difficult to use! I think I need to invest in some better paper for copics, I am using the copic marker pad at the moment but the pages are super thin and don't seem to be too good for blending :).

Anyway here are the two images below and then below that is a link to a time lapse video of my copic marker sketch (My first traditional sketch video!)
