Lots and lots of layers of glazing. Thank you!

Any secrets you'd be willing to share? =3

It's just a lot of experimentation, really! I use windsor newton acrylics and satin glazing medium, usually I'll do a plain base coat (kind of like cel shading) and then glaze different colors on top of that with very thinned down paint with medium. Something I like to do is paint lighter areas with transparent or opaque white and then glaze over them for colored highlights (works for shadows too). You can even do the value of a painting in black and white and do the color on top purely with glazes, you'd be surprised how well it does.

I didn't find a satin glazing medium XD Do you thin your medium with water? But those ideas sound really fun; I can't wait to try them!

Usually it's thin enough that I can use just the medium and paint, but if it's more paint and medium, I thin it with a little water. Medium takes getting used to, but it's worth it!

You just gotta work fast s'all. I like that they dry fast as I am super impatient at times!

all the colours that make up the white are really cool here. And so are the hints of fur texture

This turned out amazing! I remember seeing the mock up you did on your Tumblr and it's amazing how well you replicated that with traditional media. The way you paint is just phenomenal I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND.

Thank you! I keep thinking the paintings come out better than the mockups, which is uhh?? Because painting is a bitch.

I think they're pretty much on par, quality-wise ... QUALITY WISE BEING EXCEPTIONAL IN BOTH MEDIUMS. I'm honestly just blown away because of how well you work both digitally and traditionally?!? Seriously nothing I do digitally ever transfers over traditionally SO MY MIND IS JUST BLOWN FOR REALSIES HAHAHA.

Aahh thank you! I can't do anything traditionally anymore other than painting though, oh my god you should have seen me trying to do figure drawing yesterday, IT WAS AWFUL. Drawing with a pencil got so hard after drawing digitally for so long (not gonna lie, mostly spoiled to being able to select and move/resize things and the undo button).

I love the ethereal glow!!! and I really am always so impressed by your ability to pick beautiful colors and paint fur and ugh, I love your humans so much, but I also just love your animals to pieces ;;
