Absolutely amazing. The realism you were able to achieve using Prismacolors is outstanding. I am especially fond of how real the leaves look. None of them are perfect, just like in life. The little critters, the spider web, all are a nice touch. You put a lot of great detail into this picture. It's simply fantastic.

This is beautiful. The colours and shading you used are perfect and your composition is very well layed out. So much detail has gone into each aspect of the picture. Great work.

I've always wanted to try using color pencils, but I don't think I'm quite ready yet ^^'
The colors and details are amazing!

rosegirouard In reply to lyorr [2010-09-01 17:38:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh I think you are more than ready! (I checked out your gallery.) The first piece I did in color was just over a year ago [link] It took me months, but now I'm addicted to color! I encourage you to try since your talent is nothing short of wonderful..I think you'll surprise yourself with how quickly you become very good at it! Thank you for the inspiring comment!
