oh wow, lori! this is very nice! i dunno how y'all make these look really painted! i try and try and can't get that look! i love this one :D

it's just 115ish for both opacity and flow, and some occasional blending... maybe a liitle sharp tool to make certain areas stand out.... I'm sure you can do it Anna! thanks both of you.

sweet! thanks for the tip! gonna try that tonight when i get home from work!

HEY THAT LOOKS VERY FAMILIAR. I am so sure I have seen that bird somewhere o.o

Anyways, very nice job!

Looks like a chickadee. This is a lovely image Lori, you really have a diverse range in your art. Lovely feathering effect, and such a pretty eye.

Actually it looks like a European Robin...chickadees are black and white...I have one in my gallery..

awww, i love the way he looks so soft and the way it looks like the sun is radiating through the outer edges of his little feathers

WHERE'S MY BB GUN =]

He looks like my little 'Peep'. Well maybe what he would have looked like if he had lived. :o( Please don't shoot him with a BB, Cindy!

You shoot this little precious thing, I'll shoot you in the ass Cindy

She doesn't shoot birds, let us not forget the dove she tried to save.
It's the cat's I worry about ;)

Ok Poppa, caught me. I don't know birds. Cept some are pretty and they're all too loud, especially when I want to sleep.

wow thats awesome! it looks like a photograph in the thumbnail. great job

okay, i'm gonna try what you said now, lori! cross your fingers for me! lolz

good luck, girl :) I already know whatever you draw will come out way better than this!

IT GOTS PURDYNUSS~
