Oh yeah. I had to do a ton of reference. I had to have photographs for each species. I did over a hundred initial thumbnail sketches for the composition and did several more large sketches.
Oh, you're welcome, you deserve it. That probably was tons of work. Reminds me of how I was painting a pic about an ethnic festival in my town I also did lots of sketches, well maybe not as much as you, I also recorded it on video and drew sketches at home. Hmm..what is the pic size in centimeners? I'm not used to the whole inch system?
Thank you for all of your comments and your +fav.
