That shading is damn amazing. I'm glad you included some context into its creation in the author comments, and responded to the previous reviewer so well. Thanks for showing us your work and being honest with us!

Thank you :) and it is my pleasure to share my process with the community here. Since Im still learning just like anyone else here, i believe we can learn from each a lot more then we can on our own. That what makes the Art community unique and different then any other profession out there.
Dang, I found another one of yours by random, this amazes me, like my art is kind of noobish looking, because I use a mouse in Photoshop, and i dont have a camera to upload my traditional pieces, but Dammmm how, I watched the entire video and still cannot comprehend this level of detail, I need to start working in larger canvas sizes, and I'm defiantly getting a drawing tablet! I'm just saying, I've never tried this hard on a portrait but that is definitely changing. I've gotten fairly detailed with traditional pieces, but I've never seen just how powerful Photoshop can be with portraitry

I started in 2009 and till 2014 i was full on traditional artist. Pencil charcoal, oil, acrylic, doing exhibitions and stuff. I was against digital and all its kind. But man trust me when i say this. The min you master your tablet, It will be hard to go back. I didnt do any oil painting in over a year. Starting digital is hard. Its almost impossible with just a mouse if ur looking for realism. But with even a cheap tablet, and some practice (took me a year) you will not only get there u will never look back.
Take a leap of faith. Join the digital hordes and you will not regret it :)
Man.. i was an advocate against digital art, now im a recruiter!
