Absolutely astounding! Had I not enlarged the piece, I would had actually thought this to be a photo! You've captured this image just as perfectly as any camera ever could!The droplets really make the piece in my opinion, as it can be very difficult in drawing water correctly without making it look fake! Even though you obviously used a lot of patience while drawing and blending the ridges of the flower itself.Very nice counter balance with the black fading to green. I've never been one to want to draw flowers, but your art has made me consider trying it for my own. Super work! Can't wait to see what you bring is next!

This artwork is really, quite beautiful. Judging by all the detail you put into the rose, I'm guessing you toke your time on this. I really like how this turned out. You should consider making more so you can sell them. That's how much I love, this piece! I really like how you added water droplets to the rose. This makes it look really nice. I also like how there are streaks in the rose. The background is rather lovely, as well. It reminds me of an emerald, because it's so green. You did a very good job on this piece, and I hope you accept my critique.

Beautiful

What are the benefits of using dry watercolour pencils compared to normal coloured pencils?

I find it difficult to use watercolur pencils

Do you have any videos that might help me get started?

I cant answer your question because i have never used common color pencils.It was always watercolor pencils for me,and the reason i prefer them is simple.They provide me with the liberty to use water on top if needed.And i want to have this option.
Honestly i was thinking in finally purchasing the prismacolor set soft core premium,set of 132 pcs.So i would check for myself how its like to use straight color pencils.
I dont have videos dear,i am doing art after midnight and i can tell you for a fact,at 4 am while i am drawing,the thought of me making a video would involve my pyjamas too.NOT very decent really...

Thanks!

No I just meant if you have any videos that you can think of that you found on Youtube or something. Not your own

Dude. This is absolutely amazing!! It looks so real, and I love the way you changed up the background ever so slightly... You obviously have some great talent!
