hi,
looks very good..
the enviroment could have a bit more details..
but I think you just wanted to create some contrast to the high-detailed panda bear, right man?
bye

Thank you
Yes, I know. The background should have a lot more detail. I will work on that. Itīs just that I am not expericenced enough to add random detail and not making it look too messy.
Iīll post any major update.
Oh, by the way, I have seen your skateboard post, looks cool, great texture work.

That look great. Love the pose and everything. Is it from a reference in that position or you have extrapolate from your imagination ?

Thanks, I used a postcard as reference, and I tried to match it as close as possible, without scanning it. The original is more detailed, but I find adding detail to be very exhausting. I have to practice more.
Great work!
How long did you work on this painting?
The pose and the proportions are really good!
Is the original a painting or a photo?
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hi, thanks for the nice words.
It took about 4-5 hours total. The original is a water color painting in a postcard. Very small to see details clearly.
Most time was spent in the fur, but i think that the most difficult part is the background, as I commented before.
