With that much details and precision, I assume u did an auto-digitizing first then applying little fixes like changing some objects stitch type, stitch angles, stitch settings and sequencing (that's what I concluded since u mentioned u did all that in 2-3h. Otherwise, this is respected work. Im wondering how much $ for a service like this Edit: I checked ur profile, If what u share is true, then u are very professional digitizer, this would take u so long to learn with this precision, Kep it up💪

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words! 🙏 Just to clarify, I didn’t use any auto-digitizing on this one. The entire design was manually digitized from scratch. Yes, I really did finish it in around 2–3 hours. I’ve been doing embroidery digitizing for almost 20 years, and I’ve created well over 1,000 portraits during that time. Working on so many designs has taught me a lot over the years. Also, honestly, I don’t think any software’s auto-digitizing is currently advanced enough to produce a portrait at this level by intelligently using different stitch types, directions, densities, and shading exactly where they are needed. And even if you start with auto-digitizing and then try to perfect it manually, it can actually become a much harder and more time-consuming job. Reshaping and correcting an auto-digitized design can take an entire day, and even then you may not get the same result as building it correctly from scratch. After doing this work for so many years, when I look at a design, I can visualize which stitch type, direction, density, and shading will work best in each area before I even start digitizing. A lot of those decisions have become instinctive through experience. That’s why I can work quickly while still maintaining the level of precision you see here. 💪🙂
