I was just wondering about the best way to go about a concept art in Photoshop and also, were one might find custom brushes suitable for it. While I'm posting I might as well ask how to setup the brushes since I don't know how.
As always your time and advice are greatly appreciated.

Really there is no answer to this question, its like asking what is the best color to use when making a concept.

As for brushes most of what you find are stamps and not really designed for painting. Photoshop comes with a nice set of brushes I suggest sticking to the hard edge brushes and work on confident strokes not blurry sketchy crap. You can always make your own brushes to suit your own needs.
"but vig I don't know what makes a good brush? Isn't there a brush that just makes awesome?"
Then you're not really ready for custom brushes, get painting. The best brushes I have, where made out of necessity.
So my advice would be get a wacom if you don't have one already, as big as you can afford, get reference, and practice.
