amazing! is the linework a combination of blue/black ink or is that colored pencil? are they hand laid or printed?

[@MatteNande]

Thanks! The linework at the start is just regular pencil, we trace the layout onto the paper by hand. You don't really see it after the painting is done. We do use colored pencil and ink pens to accentuate certain parts.

[@eternalsquanch8445]

is that ink or pencils? Like does the massive amount of water smear linework?

[@WaddleQwacker]

Looks like being in front of Notre Dame of Strasbourg.

[@MatteNande]

It was indeed very much inspired by Strasbourg ;)

[@ak.khairulanwar3890]

hello sir, at the beginning before you start colouring, what is that shiny liquid when you brush off the paper?

[@MatteNande]

Water :)
