Forgive me if this come across as snobby, but I think it’s important to make the distinction between the left picture and the right. The left was done using all traditional mediums and the right, according to OP’s comment further down, was done digitally. The reason this is important to note is because it is much easier to achieve realism and smoothness digitally and using traditional mediums to draw/paint is a whole other thing. That being said, producing quality digital images still requires skill. I’m impressed; however I’d be even more impressed if this level of quality were achieved via solely traditional mediums. To be frank, traditional medium being compared with digital medium feels a bit gimmicky in my opinion. They are both beautifully drawn, but for the love of art - I wish people would stop trying to pass off digital creations as traditional medium, even if accidentally.
