This is lovely work Cleo. Your brushstrokes are so attractive and create nice details. The bird looks very realistic with the right shades of colors and well applied highlights and shading. I think the textures in the background are very attractive too.

I intended to review this one when you had it promoted, but just got too busy. But I didn't forget about it! This is really, really beautiful work and the thumbnail looks like a photo. Only by zooming in can we see your tiny 'brush' strokes. Amazing!

Cleo, this is great!!! I think it's perfect, including the composition and proportions of the woodpecker. The combination of the colors are brilliant! A lot of texture! Nice light and shadows! Red cap is like rasberry on the cake!! :-) A realistic looking digital art! Bravo, bravisimo! ! !

This really is a beautiful piece of art. The details that are rendered on the feathers of the bird are fantastic, the colors on the head are eye catching. The contrast works really well making the bird pop. Thanks for sharing.

This is a beautiful piece of digital art. Your shading is wonderful and the bird also stands out very well. The birds looks like he is perching on an old branch of the tree. I see nothing to critique in your art because it is so well done. Love it.

A very nice painting that shows nice detail in the bird. The image is well proportioned and bird looks quite similar to the local Red Bellies. Very nice technique and beautiful colors.

Comment from Sange


Really fine work here Cleo!
You did a fine job on his striped wing feathers, the Downy fur on his belly with fine eye clarity.
Beautiful painting with crisp details.
:)

A gorgeous digital imageof 'tis woodpecker,at first glance it looks like a very well focused photo.It resembles the red bellied woodpecker we have in NY.I like the attentiveness to detail in your digital creation,I can see this gracing a page in a bird book.A very enjoyable and life like bird!

You are quite the painter My Friend! The pose looks totally natural and I love the way you placed the woodpecker in the image. From a distance this looks like a photograph. Anyway you look at it the bird was beautifully painted. Very Nicely Done! :o) Nancy
