Hey Cleo! This a so beautifully rendered and we'll designed. All of the fine details are well shown and are very pleasing to the eye. The use of light is very well shown and presented. Overall a very eye pleasing and intriguing work, good job!

This is great,at first I thought it was a photo. Very realistic with good proportions,the textures and detailing are exquisite,and the use of light and shade really adds to the realism of the skipper.Simply beautiful work!

Comment from Envision


I like the shapes of the skipper's wings and you did a lovely job making them look so realistic. I like how you blended the colors on this little guy and the leaf. You created nice texture in the wings. The details of the flower that he occupies are very impressive and three dimensional.

Excellent digital art painting you created. The close up allows the viewers to capture the incredible details of this butterfly. Very nice composition and well framed. Great technique used in order to capture the exact colors and lighting.

A 12 star out of 10 -this item is more then perfect again - your painting have 3D reality impact as it looks like a photograph - I am really wondering how you can do these fine details - are you working with a drawing pad?
Fantastic composition, I love everything from the soft green background and the excellent macro impression - even the wings look like real with their raw wing surface - stunning job, excellent definition, well done

    Tank you very much for your encouraging review.
    I am working with a touch pad. I use the biggest size of digital canvas available. I apply a raster with 9 equal squares in a layer which I delete when the painting is done. Then I blow the canvas up to 500% and work on each square separately usually using only small brushes. :o)

I love this picture! The lighting is good and the angle is good. It seems a little blurry in a few spots but still very good. I just posted a picture too, which I invite you to look at. Nicely Done!

    Thank you much for your kind review. It is blurry in some places because this was my intention. I do not want my paintings looking like photos. :o)

Gorgeous Digital Art and nature art work. Beautiful brush strokes and blending and shading of colors along with good details. Your play with light and shadows creates depth and interest in your work. Your background colors and shading compliment your work beautifully. Your fine details add so much beauty to your Digital work. Beautiful work and thanks for sharing.

This is really artistic and so life like, you can almost touch the soft wings on this lovely butterfly, great detail on the face and antenna, soft natural colours, the butterfly is very well
Placed in the frame. Beautiful a pleasure to view.
