Hi everyone

I came across this artists great looking postcard and I would love to know how he got the snow to look so real and fluffy in this image.
I don't read German so I have no idea what he is talking about?

If you have the Google toolbar installed for your browser, you can just right click over the German Forum page and choose 'translate to English'.

Here's his quote on how he created the snow:
schnee zeichnen, pixel f?r pixel ="pixels for pixels draw snow".

Even without translation, the photos give a good idea of what was involved...great work.
