I love this painting too, its just beautiful, Inkgal, just copy it the best way you can, if you do all the dark bits first and then work your way with the lighter colours, and leave all the highlights till last, thats the way I would go about it anyway,To me it looks as if he has painted it this way, I may be wrong
