Very nice. This kind of work is amazing and looks like it takes incredible patience. The creature you have drawn has a liveliness that holds the eye. Fine work.

Comment from redeemer
An excellent art work...and degree of Pointillism masterly achieved through pen and ink. Detail throughout is highly admired as well as the flow of shadowing...very well achieved.
Also, as a monochromatic rendering, accomplishment in realism and naturalism is well noted. You must have totally enjoyed doing this art work...it reveals your natural talent in this area. Thank you for sharing your art with me.

Comment from AussieArt
The mark of a perfectionist here! Not one dot out of place. This is a delightful image beautifully drawn, with a lovely understated warm colour Furthemore,
there is a great touch of whimsy about the subject. Well done, AussieArt

This is so cute! I absolutely love it! Even with the muted color and subsequently muted contrasts and detail, your wonderful talent for realistic animal renderings really shines! The technique you've used creates very attractive textures, too! Well done!
