Description Well, here you go. It's been about 50 hours and, I hope you like it.

It's a commission that the science teacher at my Chinese Education Centre requested sometime at the end of last year, and because I was slack during the Christmas holidays, I left it to the end of January...

The size of the canvas was 24" by 18" and I did the usual acrylic painting like my tanks; I only used the three prime colours plus black and white for the whole painting.

I've got a lot to say about this painting, seeing that it's the best painting I've done to date, but of course there will always be places to change, but part of being an artist is deciding when a piece is done and finished. I've never had much experience in painting clouds and none with the fire, so I may have fluked it.

I hope I don't get too attached to this painting though, seeing that it's being bought off me and I possibly won't ever see it again... T.T

After consideration from my teachers, I decided to change the clouds and the fire. I burred out the clouds and left a little less white to make it feel more subtle. The fire was another fluke and I made it brighter to distinguish it's colour from the wings.

it's beautiful.. don't worry about seeing it again.. it's also a part of being an artist to be even better next time u make a piece similar to this. (although first times would really give a lasting impression)... eventhough you are already a genius with your crosshatching (using pencils)... i was quite really taken aback to see u can paint this GOOD!!! love it..

can i suggest something.. (pls dont get angry)... it lacks a lil bit of the "shining/gleaming" sort of reflection on the fire.. and the area that are supposed to be lighted up by the fire... also i think it is also cool to add some sort of "veins" and transparency(just lil bit) on the wings.... dont get me wrong.. I LOVE YOUR WORK/S... i mean.. you're seriously awesome.. im not patronizing here (i cant even draw as good as u... not even 5% of your skills)..

Thank you so very much every time you motivate me! As long as it's criticism that's constructive, I'll never get angry so long as you mean well. I'll take in your suggestion, and after my art teacher has a look at it, I might make a few last alterations.
