Thank you! No, I'm pretty old school and use mainly traditional media.

Fantastic details in this piece - that never ceases to impress with your work! Incredible attention to detail, without losing the 'life' of the painting. I also love this owls name, haha

Thanks! Hmm, the ratio is probably somethink like 60 watercolor and 40 pencil. But since I am using the two through each other, it is a bit hard to say.

Ah, interesting, I didn't know such a large part of it was watercolours. You say you use them through each other: so can they layer well? I wouldn't think watercolour would 'stick' very well to paper where pencil was used?

Thanks! Yes they layer very well, in my opinion. Of course, I use small amounts, so no hard pressing on the pencils so there is a fatty layer, but also I start the whole painting with paint, and use pencil here and there for details or smoothing out color.

Ah, adding the pencil on top would help I can imagine. Thank you for the info!

I love his expression (the deep stare is so owl-like)!
Great work on this. The detail is spot on.

I'm personally try to avoid saying 'looks justΒ like a photograph'-type of comments, but really, nothing could be more apt! Your attention to detail and the ambient blue light on his head is simply mindblowing! I can almost see the background in my mind.

Thank you. Never really looking for the "looks like a photograph" comment myself (don't really find it a compliment actually, as that is not the goal of my work!), so it's fine you did not use it.

Green screen? haha i dunno! Still, that's an insane amount of details.
