Wow you're better than most artist you actually explain

Thank you for admitting some of the struggles you have. I am exactly like you I can do the animals, but struggle with the background. Love this artwork! Thank you for sharing!

Amazing! Wow that Wolf is so Live! Even better than your reference. You are an amazing Artist. Congratulations!

Oh WOW, brilliant video. Just found you, but have learnt so much already. Love the idea of an airbrush. Luckily I have one, but it's not used much. That might change now.

[flufwix]

Thanks so much. This is very interesting especially the idea of a focus point. Somehow I managed to discover the long fur being made up of layers of shorter fur. I’ve never used an air brush. Something exciting to try.

[skipperdawson]

Aside from me totally loving your work, how do you preserve these masterpieces? Amazing!!

love to see more airbrush technique over charcoal. just ordered my first airbrush kit today because of this video. charcoal has become my most favorite medium. you opened something new with the airbrush and i cant wait to learn and try adding the darker darks to my pieces. thank you for sharing this wonderful insight. please if you would share a little more indepth on adding the airbrush work to charcoal. thank you🎉.

Nice video and your work turned out great! I’ve used the airbrush in acrylic paintings before I discovered the joys of working with charcoals and also decided to combine them to get deeper shadows. A little bonus is that is also fixates the charcoal to the paper a bit. It works so well! I just wish I had the room to work the same size 😅

Ridiculously informative! I am super appreciative of your channel Daniel ❤

Stunning art. Is there anything in your process that can't be taught? Looking at some of those beautiful long sweeping lines - so skillfully done.

[yavannapeet]

Amazing talent. You make it look effortless, which I know it's not!!
