Sure, np. However you should know this was done in Photoshop and Illustrator. The lines from the original sketch were cleaned up in Illustrator, and then a jpg of that was placed into Photoshop.
Basically I lock the sketch on the bottom layer, make a new layer above it, set that to multiply, and color over the sketch. In this case however, the brush was unique.
So first download the free lightning brushes from the Adobe Design Center. Then use the wand tool to select the background, this should allow your figure to be safe. The brushes have like 10 to choose from, but you could use any brush to mimic a bolt if you find good reference.
Anyway, make the background dark so the lightning shows up. Put your brush tool to screen, at about 30 - 50% and vary the size of the brush occasionally. The more you click in the same spot and don't move, the brighter the brush will make the effect.
I switched up several brushes, and used a simple round for around the fists, doing the same technique. Also your color should be bright to begin with for this light effect. Screening with dark colors sometimes doesn't work very well.
For the arms I did the reverse, I highlighted the torso with the wand tool, thus not effecting the background, and used a white lightning color, brush at the same settings but at smaller sizes.
I'll try to put up a tute tomorrow, along with some links, but right now I gotta sleep.

Well by popular demand, placing this in a new thread, however I will continue to sketch dump, and take requests in the other thread. And btw Migrayne was already on my list...
Hope you like it, I took some liberty with the costume...
