In this image, custom brushes in Photoshop. Just a photo of a really textured surface with the contrast way up set as the tip, opacity set to pressure and the angle set to 100% jitter will usually do it. You can just brush it lightly over anything, sometimes also helps to set the brush to soft light or something and you paint in the colour of your lightsource or something nearby to simulate bounce light. Of course you don't wanna lose definition from having such a random texture so you'll still have to go in with sharper brushes to bring details out but that's the general thrust of the method I used on this.

Wow, thanks for such a detailed response. It's way more complicated than anything I've done in Photoshop before (I just use the standard brush like a pleb XD) but on seeing the effect it gives I'll give it a shot. It looks really good, almost stippled

No problem. If you want any more information ask away, or just google stuff for tutorials or pre-made custom brushes.

That's the only part that wasn't in the original pencil sketch.
