When I asked my 4 year old what colour should I colour my inked drawing [link] he said rainbow.

Little did I realise just how much work was involved. Many, many hours later.. stroke after stroke in photoshop.. here is the final result.

I feel both satisfied but also relieved here. I've very pleased with the result but it somehow seemed that I was never going to finish :D

Certainly my biggest colouring submission to date.

I've had to disable the zoom option on this drawing as I have found several people selling copies on Etsy.. :(

If you want to see it bigger consider a print :)

Anyway, what do you think?? Do you like it?? :D

Wow. This is quite amazing. I bet this had to take quite some time especially for it being done in photoshop. Very nice work. Mesmerizing design. 0.o hehe ^_^

Thank you. And yes, it took *some* time :D First the original inked drawing.. and then the photoshop colouring that never, ever, seemed to end lol.. but I think it was worth it in the end.. I'm just about to submit another coloured drawing that took the same amount of time.. check it out :)
