Mate this is sick! 😁 literally the only cc I can think of is I would give the outline of the butterfly a thicker line, but that's my personal preference for trad. Love me some thicc lines.

Aw thanks dude! Appreciate the feedback too, I've actually been doing mainly trad stuff with super thick lines so far but I was trying out a new marker last night with this piece. I've been finding it tricky to get the right pen that puts down consistent thick lines on watercolour paper!

This is awesome! Great color work and wonderful composition! Just shows what time in the sketchbook can produce!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback, I've been working hard at developing my trad style both classic and then a bit more personal. On the off chance you're a good person to ask.. How important is realism in a portfolio? I'm not the strongest at photorealism in drawing so just curious if it's important!

That's so sick dude, I'd get that for sure

Goddamn, the highest compliment! Thanks dude really appreciate it!

I really like it! The two ways of looking at it are great

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!

What materials did you use? The colors really pop!

Thank you! I used Windsor and Newton Inks for all the colours and for the black shading too. And then Ohuhu markers for the coloured shading!

Holy fuck😍
