Pavel, the birds are traditionally painted as was all of my work up until about 5 years ago. These days I paint/illustrate on a Wacom Cintiq display and use Corel painter and Photoshop. I still do the painting the same as I would traditionally, like starting with a white canvas and building up the paint and detail etc. Only instead of paint and brushes it is pixels and a interactive pen. There are really no shortcuts or magic filter effect to make a painting with digital media.....the main benefit is the time factor as it is so much quicker than traditional methods.
