Jephyr - Sketchbook Pro & Wacom Intuos: Time Lapse, Digital Speed Painting / Photo Study

Awesome bird, but a teeny tiny thing is that the legs looked like steel when you zoomed in.

@Jouldon Thanks you! I just checked out the original photo I worked from and even that looks like the birds legs are steel-like...black and banded and so shiney they even reflect the bird's belly and the fence in places. It's interesting to see what things look like when your right up on them.

Wonderfully done! I have started a bird my self and I'm wondering what airbrush you used? Hard or soft?

[JephyrX]

@Jeffhebert21 Hi and thanks so much! Most often I use the Sketchbook Pro stock airbrush which is "soft" and then vary the flow as I paint. Generally speaking more flow for laying out larger areas and edges ...less flow for detail and refinement. Best wishes with your bird!! If you post it on-line somewhere please let me know!

Wow! Nice! How long does it take for you to finish these?

@ness682 Hi neighbor, I actually "painted" this back in March so I can't remember...not too long especially when compared to making the music bed. It's looped based in Acid (still don't have my pc recording DAW running yet) and I did 3 different tracks before I settled on this one...prob'ly around 2 weeks just for that! : ) Congrats on nearly 3 million views! WOW!
