I'd absolutely love to get my hands on the brushes you use but I really can't afford the course right now to get them! Do you offer the brushes for sale anywhere? Also, which of Kyle's brush sets would you recommend?

Kyle's Megapack has tons. Much of what I use is free - Borodante, KNKL both have free brush packs.

Ah alright. I'll try to find those and try them out. Your work inspires me so I'd love to try your coloring methods out with the right brushes!

I'll say this though. Don't get too caught up in brushes. I use a regular soft round brush a lot. It's just a tool. Brushes don't matter that much.

Yea that's something I'm starting to learn. It's tough but I'll get it eventually. For now I do definitely enjoy experimenting with different brushes to achieve different effects. I'm still figuring out what works for me and what doesn't.

Hey, Michael, I've found this interesting material on 13th Dimension about coloring.

I've been trying the draw in the style you use.

Hi there,

I believe you might be coloring on a monitor that is far too bright. It's almost impossible to tell what's happening, and the colors are way too dark. Watch this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY_XRZ…

Thank, I will watch this. In fact, I have done a new version of the same one.

Michael, can you do a video or give an advice about how to be fast? Sometimes I spend about 15 hours just for one page (both flats and rendering). How can I improve my coloring speed? Thanks!

kmichaelrussell In reply to ZethKeeper [2016-07-10 00:10:30 +0000 UTC]

Keep practicing. That's about all I know to tell you. Speed isn't something you can really force. You just have to keep working.

Should I have two galleries for flatting and coloring samples? or should I put them in one?

kmichaelrussell In reply to terriojenkins [2016-02-01 00:48:46 +0000 UTC]

I would separate them.

I've been watching your videos on youtube, really inspiring! Perhaps you could do one explaining the proper usage of textures, as I can imagine you don't just pop a random one in. Anyway, love your work!
