Holy Moly how did I miss this one. It does look just like a photograph - wow and it didn't take you very long to draw this either - man I'd love to have one ounce of your talent. I hope you get paid for your talent because you could make some serious cash.

Holy Moly is right! I don't know how I missed this either. Your colors are always so intense and beautiful. You have such great talent that anything and everything you draw is such a pleasure to look at.

This is howcase material! Perfect and even better! That soft light flitering through the drawing is gorgeous!!! How very real this little creature looks! And the beautiful flower! Perfection Star!

Excellent job. I love all the different textures.

Hey Starz - the sheen on the gold satin is just TOO real! the fringing, the bell, the embroidery on the face - all amazing.

Terry......I can't believe I missed commenting on this. I have looked at it so many times and I guess I was so engrossed in all of the detailing I thought I had commented. I love the whole draw, but my favorite part about it is the one piece of cording that comes down from the bell. I can't quit staring at it. It looks like you could reach right out and take it from the picture, seeing the side of it and the perfect details you have put into it. Wow! Masterpiece is quite the understatement for this. Mardi gras memorabilia has always taken me aback, and this would be a perfect addtion to all that I already have.

LOL all the ones I'm finding that I want to comment on turn out to be yours. Keep it coming. You have some really great art on here.

I just noticed your icon pic and was curious to see what it looked like upclose. Cool! I love how vivid the colors are in this picture, it makes it so life-like. I've seen your other drawings of birds and I think this one is by far the best one. I don't think I could have done this in 20 hours, great job girl!

That's an really awesome drawing!!!

Wonderful work. :)

So real looking! Right down to the tiny hairs!.....and oh those wings are so delicate looking!

haha that's cute. reminds me of the movie i saw last month: "The Bee Movie"

Wow, this is amazing!!

After seeing the ref, I have to say I like your drawing better than the photo. There is something funny going one with the eyes, yours look more natural and believable.

ZOMG ... the eyes have it! Just gorgeous.

Sweet draw! Happy Easter to you, too! this brings back memories.

Wonderful! Reminds me of all my girls (x3) when they were little. Happy Easter Starz!

So precious and lovely!

Great style! I just love thouse colors!

This needs to be showcased. No really. I just think it's so awesome. The use of texture in this picture.

Oh this is gorgeous, now I'm curious about how you do the glitz and glamor here, dohhh too many things to learn, too little time!

Happy Easter, STARZSHINE

Beautiful....gotta love those colored eggs this time of year!

why thank you lovely lady - and the same to you. Fabulous vibrant colours, you know how much I love them!

AMAZING! This is just perfect Starz. I agree with jpjp in that each one of your drawings seem to out do the one before. Keep them coming!

pure awesomeness

Well I just don't know what to say except AWESOME.

I just realizes Starz.....you are new here. I go look at so much art on these sites I see you so many places with your fine art. I just thought you had been here forever until I read that comment. Not that I take your art for granted. It is wonderful and I look forward to seeing it anywhere and everywhere. It blows me away! You have to be one of my favorite online artists.

Nice textures :)

Awesome draw Starz! I just adore your use of vibrant colors and details! And congrats on using layers! I imagine it'll be a long while before I stick my toe in that "paint bucket"....lol.
