Fabulous command of digital art techniques is illustrated here by this perfect Monarch butterfly in his leafy background. Great detail and lovely composition.

I don't know how I missed this one a few yrs ago?! I wish I could had a six, as I just gave my last one to this incredible drawing of a cute girl titled "Cutie".
So I made my own now for you Cleo. **********************
Incredible job on the colors and markings on this Gulf Butterfly as well as the green leaves and tiny red flowers.
Beautiful work Cleo.
;)

A very pretty piece of art, the colors are delightful as is the subject matter. Difficult I suspect as it's so small which makes it all the more worthy, Congratulations on winning the contest, you deserved it for sure!

Congratulations on your win. I wish I had six stars left. I like the depth you achieved in the foliage. Your butterfly has the soft powdery look so often seen on butterfly wings. I like your wing details and the harmonious color palette you utilized.

Beautiful composition once again, very attractive in its softness and color range
excellent use of space - I think the view point is well chosen as well as the open wings of the butterfly
excellent detail work and color application
A very harmonious and balanced image with perfect depth of field - I love the 2 little flowers sticking out making a whole lot of difference by adding natural playfulness - a very lovely piece , well done, Cleo

Looks like I missed out this one when it was posted the first time, but I fully understand that you won the contest with this lovely picture.

I especially like the textured background, and the two small blooms you have added, and the butterfly is done paying very good attention to details. I like how the white spots are standing out as well.

The format and framing is perfect, and the butterfly has got a very good placement on the canvas. A truly lovely and well done digital painting Cleo. Sorry that I have run out of 6 stars ratings, because I think this one is worth it.

    You are more than welcome Cleo. It is a great looking digital
Comment from ArtistCharles


Nothing wrong with painting what your eyes see. A number of other well know artists were considered "visionaries" (pun intended) for doing what their bad eyesight saw. Nicely done mage of the butterfly. Good color and definition. Well seen.

I think you made this to look very realistic. The colors and texture of the butterfly are very attractive and the way you applied the pattern and the precision of the leaves looks especially realistic.

You're exceptional.
Wow!

I love this.

What can I say!?
This is so beautifully done.

Not only does the idea of a butterfly calm the mind, knowing that you drew this, is all so refreshing.

I love your tonality. It makes it appear real and I can almost say the leaves are.

Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Keep it coming.
