From Natural to Digital

 

You could also do your sketching with traditional media, and then scan the final to open it in Photoshop. A quick Levels adjustment will help to eliminate smudges. Then add layers above for painting. Set the layer blend mode to Multiply so you can see through to your sketch. This can help make the move to digital a lot easier.

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
