Description This is a piece I've been working on since late November! It's a Christmas present for my grandmother, who asked for an original piece of art for Christmas! She used to love this picture of a hummingbird I drew years ago ( [link] ), so I decided I'd make her a new one. ♥

This piece has probably taken me at least 20 hours of work, and a LOT of love has been put into it! ♥

Pieces like this go through three stages: The pencil lines, which I then scan in; the cleanup stage, in which I get rid of fuzzy bits and anomalies from the scan; and the painting stage, in which I paint underneath the lines. If anyone's interested, I can post some of the process shots I took!

Art is © me-- Please don't steal!
Thank you for looking! ♥

It really has been a privilege seeing you work through this piece, and then seeing the final product. This is absolutely stunning, and every hour of work you put into this was totally worth it in my opinion! I just can't even imagine the patience you must have in order to put all the details into this piece of art, and just... I'm so happy to see this finished ;v; you did a fantastic job.

This is truly STUNNING!
The amount of detail (but not so much that it's overwhelming ) and the general placement and setup of each item in the scene works together to make this picture so effective!
GORGEOUS work, m'dear!

Wow, this is so stunning!
I saw it in your art dump thing, and this was the one drawing that I really wanted to see full view.
And it's more detailed and more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Wow! Really, excellent work! (:
