Description
This was a rough doodle that evolved into something more, until I shifted bits around, extended the canvas, and eventually decided I was happy enough to try painting it.Photoshop CS4, ~15 hours

I love the warm and soft colours in this painting, they are very pleasant to look at. The herder and the animals are all beautiful, they look so calm. You are very good at painting many things, but what I notice the most, is skin, hair, fabrics and backgrounds - you have a lot of skill at those subjects. Great job!

This is really beautiful. The attention to detail is superb - especially in the girl's hair, her headband/antlers, the bark, her belt, the texture of the fawns' coats, the wooden staff, even the leaves in the background! Your anatomy is also excellent...I love her face, her ear, her arms...and don't even get me started on how jealous I am over your ability to draw hands. Excellent, excellent job!

The deers were off a handful of photo references, and yes the neck/back connection looks like that in the pics I used.

I love how you did one of the birds with their wings down. I don't think a lot of people consider the fact that birds have to press the air down to fly, not just fling their wings up to gather the air. Interesting position nonetheless, and it must have been fun to do.
