Lots of oil layering. And scraping back when I screwed up the tail the first time.
If there was one thing I would critique its - I think I'd watch out for is the tones of the bg. There would generally be more blue in the shadows and aqua-green in the light like this - [link] Your interpretation of the light is so strong that it's okay that it's not entirely naturalistic however I thought I'd point it out just for the sake of the goals of scientific illustration (which I'm not entirely sure what they are)
So far I typically don't get hired to do "straight" scientific illustration - clients tend to want a bit more unreality. I suppose I could claim it unified the painting along the blue-mauve hues, but in reality, it hadn't occurred to me. I was just loving the Horizon Blue and Ultramarine Blue.
