How’d you make it exactly like the photo?

I hope this doesn’t come off as rude but it looks like some kind of filter, too perfect even

I usually take it as a compliment when people say it is a picture with a filter on it. But lately it has been bothering me. I start with the darkest colors and work my way down to the lightest, since its ink I'm using and not paint.
To prove these are not filters I started making Reels on IG to show they are really drawn. So here are a few process pictures

The picture I used is very HD and shows a lot of detail. That way i can also make it bigger than just A4-size without it looking 'smudgy'. I've been drawing since I was a kid and yeah I can just draw it, I don't really know how to explain.

I haven't even tried this, I always thought my drawings looked off by a hair. Thank you for showing this.

Ok, this cleares it up!
Im sorry we removed it

[ember ridge]

It’s all good, I completely understand. I just should have put some process pictures with it
