Congratulations for the amazing work Hlantaart!

There is a conversion about if this artwork was created with the help of a computer.

My guess is that this artwork was created without a computer, but with brain-power only. The pioneer for this type of string-art was Kumi Yamashita, which created stunning projects about a decade ago.

Then in 2016, a computational form of string-art was introduced, where nails are placed around (and not inside) the "painting" area. Only this latter form of string art definitely cannot be created without a computer.

Please notice that Hlantaart places the nails all over the artwork; this type of artwork can be created without a computer. It is similar to using ink on paper.

Keep up your great work Hlantaart!

I'm drawing with different mediums since 2008 It was 2018 and I was frustrated after Chester passed away, and a friend of mine said that people do butterflies, ships and stars using threads and nails. So we decided to create cactus. It turned into Chester though. Actually, this one is the remake of my very first string art.

Very impressive and cute. If I may ask, did you use any layers (because it's digital) if so what was your way with using them, did you began by drawing the shape of the head then coloring it on multiple layers?, I ask because I'm planning to move/ switch to digital. I still paint on paper because it's easier to learn basics like that
