The detail in the distortion the glass causes around the edges is peak! Everything else looked so good I immediately checked the edges and was delighted to see the distortion!

No notes, 10/10!

I recognize that bulb!

In any case, super crisp, especially with the refraction in the glass bulb. A lovely change up to a classic.

How do you get the black background? That doesn't look drawn. If it is, insanely even result.

Thank you so much! This is from a reference photo I took back in 2022. I tried drawing it then but couldn't make it work. It looks like I've got better!

The background was teeeechnically painted, rather than drawn. Ink applied directly with a brush. Also, a high contrast filter does a lot of lifting when it comes to hiding brush strokes.

I'm no authority on art at all. Just an older man who likes they he sees here.
