Great work - this looks like a hand-painted artwork! Nice the way you faded out the trumpet for the flower and the bird's tail feathers. My only issue is that the wings look out of proportion to each other. Nice muted background - the striations effectively give idea of movement.

Thank you for your generous review. They wings may seem out of proportion but I used my photos as reverence and measured it this way. It in may the perspective.

Comment from AprilTheArtist
almost looks like a real watercolor. Nice detail on the hummingbird. Nice shading on the morning glory and leaves. The bird's proportions appear correct, he is definitely believeable. Very nice.

Beautiful painting. I love the hummingbird already as I saw them so many time on works. When I look at first I thought this was a so beautiful watercolors painting. I think it has a similar look. I like the soft color on background and the blue flower holding for him.

Thank you so much. Yes, you are right. It is a kind of digital watercolor. I tryed for this view. The Hummingbirds are beautiful. They come to feed in our garden but we have only a few left since the hurricanes.

This is one of those that makes us feel happy to be alive to see.

The softness of it and at the same time a great sense of movement and speed.
Very nice colors.

This is a wonderful digital artwork. Your detail is excellent and the use of the painting effect in digital has really shown your technique well.

What a beautiful job. The soft colors are beautiful. I enjoy hummingbirds anyway and this piece of art really shows this one well. Great job. You should be proud of this work.

Lovely, Cleo. The wing spread of your hummingbird is very nice. Really like the way things fade out at the edges of the work, very soft and sweet. Great job!
