this rose is really photorealistic.
Is a pity that the background has not blur, cause, if it had, It would make a deep field effect and then it would be hiperrealistic.

Yeah, I had to do it just like my picture though. @.@ The teachers rule. XD

I really like this. It's very detailed, beautiful realism, and an interesting concept to use black and white Prismacolors. You got all those smooth values by burnishing? Or did you have grayscale Prismacolors available to help with the gradation?

I love Prismacolor artwork, and founded the *Prismacolorists club here at dA for colored pencils and marker artists (especially those of us that love Prismacolors!) So if you're still interested in doing Prismacolor artworks, come check us out and maybe join. This piece is stunning and deserves exposure. Also we're coming up on the start of a cool contest with six different categories...

Burnishing?? I'm not sure of the term, but, we were forced to use our Prismacolors in a circular motion, and blend the colors together using the blender marker...and we were FORCED to keep the WHOLE picture WET while we were doing this, I guess so the colors would blend easier. It was a..P-A-I-N. But, it worked, and y'don't knock what works ;D

I'll think about joining the club for sure...

Ohhhh... it's black and white Prismacolor markers used wet into wet that got you that superb shading. Wow. Just as difficult! I thought it was Prismacolor colored pencils used in shading and blended layers, which I could do with mine and hadn't thought of doing with just the black pencil and the white pencil. It would work. It would be easier using one of the grayscales along with it, Warm Gray or Cold Gray or French Gray, but I could do it just with black and white.

I've seen *Peachfuzz do wet into wet Prismacolor marker blending and it is so beautiful when it's done well. My hat's off to you! Both mediums are equally appreciated by *Prismacolorists.

I'll have to take a look at their artwork! Yeah, we were made to use the Markers, forgot wether they were cool or warm. I'll pull them out and have a looksy.

She's an anthro artist mainly, but sometimes does florals in markers. She uses both Prismacolor markers and colored pencils, but likes Crayola colored pencils as much as Prismacolor colored pencils. Yeah, I know that Prismacolor has the same grayscale ranges in markers as they do with colored pencils. French Gray is almost an ashy brown, right between brown and grays. Warm Gray is more a neutral gray to me, and Cold Gray is definitely bluish and only one step short of Paynes Gray watercolor.

I love Paynes Gray watercolor and was so thrilled when I got some. It's better than black for darkening cool colors because it gets so bluish, and it's an exciting color to use for storm clouds or waves or monochrome by itself. I like mixing other colors into it.

I can see this!! Her art is really nice! *.* I like the bright and vibrant colors she uses.

I've loved her florals ever since I met her, and her anthros are so cute. She's gotten better over the years with them, they were cool at first but she keeps refining them.
