Photos are your easiest route. Take a photo of the bricks needed for each step and then a photo of your MOC with those bricks added. Put them together in a photo layout program.

If I understand well, you can or do not want to make your models in LDD, but still want to have instructions for your brickbild mocs.

Well, thats very simple, you can do it in two directions:

1) you build, and while you add bricks, you make photo's every time you make some progress.

2) you do it the other way around, and take a moc which is finished, and take it apart and make photo's.

If you want to add an inventory for each step you can use the part pictures from peeron, or bricklink.

or make photo's of the parts you use, or take out of the model, which is even easier.

You could put it together in any decent wordprocessor, or even better something like indesign if you have that available.

The quality of your photo's, and the logic in the steps you take between the photo's make your tutorial readable.

So some daylight and a good white background, combined with a decent camera will do the job.

Lookking forward to your tutorials

Good luck

I'd do it that way.
