Your rendering is amazing. What are you using to shade ? I MUST KNOW!!!pld:

[lennon]

Beautifull stuff.

[BlackDelphin]

Your pencil work is really beautiful, but your digital one really is amazing! It may be because it has more colour but in any case, wonderful sketch book!
Tank you for sharing this with us. Hope to see a lot more pages in here.

[MarcSampson]

damn you paint really good !

[MacTire]

Wonderful inspirational sketchbook Mike! Excellent use of value and colour, great pencilwork too!

Thank you for producing a sketchbook that makes me just want to go mad with a pencil!
Keep up the phenomenal work!!

[razz]

Wow, lots of stuff in here. Love the still life paintings. I always liked those simple ones, instead of "bowl of fruits and fish and stuff". And the sketchbook pages, nice!!

[Devinda87]

you are definitely a killer, love those shades & your human studies

[Pkmike]

JesseM: thaaaaaaanks! glad you like them, still lifes are so much fun haha

ismo:thaaaanks!you're totally right! worked on that, but I had to correct the composition and decided to abandon this background D:, but thanks! gonna pay more attention next time

walnut: thank you! \o/

Ven S : haha thank you! using brush and dodge tool basically, I also use brush opacity set to pen pressure, but the minimum is around 75%, most people set it to 0%, it's just the way I like it (you need Photoshop cs5)

lennon: thaaaanks!

BlackDelphin: thanks! it's awesome to hear that!

MarcSampson: thank you! (:

MacTire: thanks man! really inspiring DD

razz:thanks! yeah, still lifes are fun (:

Woah... you have a TON of artwork here. Thanks for sharing! The paintings look great, but I'm rather partial to drawings and ink work at the moment, so I appreciate you showing those as well.

your art is gorgeous! would you mind doing a process or a tutorial? I just love your photostudies.

[Zikes]

Awesome! Love the lighting colors, and the rendering! I especially find the lighting so realistic. Really inspiring!
And your pencil sketches rock! Keep it up!

[Fallenangel]

The values are amazing as always, however the poses and the anatomy are much weaker (you probably know it already though).
Keep the awesome job that you do!

[Pkmike]
