See that dot pattern along Superman's arm? Look how even it is. How did he do that? 

I use Clip Studi Paint/Manga Studio and this is where my skill level is: http://pre01.deviantart.net/1f06/th/pre/f/2016/075/8/8/spider_man_and_spider_woman_team_versus_the_hulk__by_projectcorndog-d9vcezi.jpg IE I should probably know how to do t his already.

Thank you for the help!

    He might have ovelayed a slightly transparent texture over it...

    Could be a displacement or Normal map.

    Done in post. The pattern doesn't follow the longitudinal contours of the arm.

    In fact, I'd say most of this image has been modified by redrawing, from whatever it started out as.

    The pattern itself, regardless of how it was applied (post work or mapping) may have come from Filter Forge or Genetica... I thought it was a Filter Forge pattern, but I couldn't find it... Then again, I didn't look too long and sometimes people categorize filters terribly or use unimaginative key words, so it's harder to find a specific filter. But even if I just imagined it, either software is capable of creating that pattern... You could probably even do it in Photoshop or Gimp.

    EDITED TO ADD- Yeah, I agree with Tobar, the image is edited in post... Look at the pattern on superman's cuff... It should curve,following the contour... It's just straight.

    Cound be FF, though I'm thinking it's probably some preset pattern or image, like Ron Deviney's engraver marks package (sold here). The pattern is brought in for each segment, rotated the dsired angle, and (likely) uses layer masks to fit-form over the areas of the drawing. He can then easily modify the pattern by changing the mask.

    Other aspects of the image look vectorized, but it's a real drag to do that type of patterning as vectors, even if you clone. The artist may have simply drawn the base using a vector program (or drawn on paper, scanned in, then autotraced and cleaned up), exported that out as a bitmap, and then completed in Photoshop (or Gimp, etc.).
