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.

Hey, Michael, I've found this interesting material on 13th Dimension about coloring.
I've been trying the draw in the style you use.

I'm also trying focal points. What do i need to better this.
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…
