So how do you do a work like this one. It says 'digital art', so I take it you work from a tablet?

Yes, I do.
Since about a year I use a Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 with Autodesk Sletchbook Pro as my favourite program. Before I used my iPad but that's not precise enough.
I love both the Cintiq and Sketchbook Pro!

Is that software any good? I took a quick look and it looks like it's freeware.
That always helps ...

I believe you have a free, but limited, version and a paid Pro version. That's the version I use. It costs about €30 a year, compared to about €25 a month (!) for the full version of Photoshop.
As a drawing and painting program, I can't think of anything better than Sketchbook Pro. I've tried Photoshop, Manga Studio and Mischief and I allways come back to Sketchbook Pro.

I guess I'll be looking into that. Thanks.
I have a small Wacom tablet and I downloaded and installed both GIMP and Manga Studio, but somehow the computer still doesn't work well for me. Nothing like the feel of real paper and pencils in your hand ...

You really should look into it if you want to try digital.
The problem I have with other programs is that they don't allow an easy workflow, without a keyboard to use hot keys.
Sketchbook Pro is completely designed to be used with a tablet and a pen. It makes you able to focus on...well on drawing. At least, that's my experience. Other artists do amazing things with other programs, so it ultimately is just a personal taste.
