Description
Welcome back to The Colorful Thursday!
Yes I know, it's not Thursday yet here, but I couldn't wait to show the end result of this fantastic drawing .
It would seem little, but I learned a lot of things with this challenge , maybe this will help me with papercraft 
From studying the lineart, until complete it I think it took me about 42-45 hours 
I scanned like 6 times with different parameters and this is as close to the original colors of the drawing (although the blouse should be more bluish 
I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed to color this challenge . Thanks James for allowing me color it!

You did a good job re-rendering the line art and as always I love your work with colored pencils, You are really good with the shading and blending of the pencil so that there are no scribble marks or double colored areas (that drives me crazy) At first I thought that you had colored it with a computer

Thank you so much! 
I just tried to do my best, because I'd never tried coloring something as complicated like this 
I really tried to darken the scene to the farthest, but the scanner ruined the subtle shading

Hey I understand late replies! I have made pleanty of those. Sometimes life gets in the way of the internet and that is the way it should be

I understand your pain with scanning - my artworks hardly ever have the exact colours 
now this is a good example of a fine usage of reference! 
coloured pencils are sometimes jerks but I think you have a challenge ahead of you and that challenges name is.. textures
as someone who is more to papercrafting you're doing a really fine job with coloured pencils

The scanner is a treacherous, sometimes colors are very opaque, sometimes appear colors that don't exist
I thought to make my own version of this lineart, but I have to say it was quite detailed for my little experience , so I just used a bit the final digital drawing as a reference (this also had many dark colors
Yes, my challenge will begin to experience the different textures, I have to look for references and play around with colors 
I started coloring these challenges because several of my papercrafts are hand painted (I love the effects achieved with paint ), and often I don't know how to make a realistic shading - also a drawing is finished much faster and you can observe the results - so you can apply them in the papercraft.
I wholeheartedly thank you for taking the time to observe and criticize my work! I assure you that your advice has been very useful to me

well I understand why the old masters never scanned their artworks... apart from that scanners didn't exist
haha you shouldn't be that afraid of dark colours - they are your fiends as well
and using other people's works is a good way to practice anyway
as a papercrafter at least you have less problems with shading - the form itself does that for you
oh heavens... calling me sensei is flattering but makes me feel old - you have to have years of experience
I'm happy to help

It's because I have the brain of an engineer and I have trouble understanding how to use dark colors , I think it is harder to make gradients or smooth surfaces
Papercraft gives you a certain shades, but if these aren't adequate model can look rare .
Well, surely you must have years of practice with your beautiful drawings, plus it's not a compliment said lightly, one can recognize the mastery Sensei at first sight .

nah! I don't accept your excuse - I'm an engineer myself as well, so that doesn't convince me
work work work and everything will be fine
well the papercraft model takes care of it's shades even without your help
oh my... years of practice mean nothing when you don't know how to use it - and for me the most important thing is to inspire others
but I'm glad to help with those little hints I know

That is a sweet piece of Art. I love your use of the irregular framing device so Lara pops out more in the foreground giving the composition the added sense of depth.

I only gave color to the great Jameslink 's lineart 
Yep, it'is a very interesting concept of his drawings.

Fantastic! Well done man. Glad you took the time to color it man.
Edit... holy crap I had no idea you spent that much time on it! Wow! That's dedication!

Thank you, I'm relly glad you like it. You don't know how much it means to me coming from you
It took me a little because I was experiencing in the process, and when I was satisfied in some areas, I had to return to improve other
Well, when something excites me so I can spend a long time without notice

No worries it's really awesome to have someone add to the work. I never expected anything like that. Same here with the excitement. It's always great to feel good about a piece and just get lost in it for a while. Doesn't happen so much for me these days, but every now and again i'll sit down and get lost in a piece. It's fun like that.
Thanks again for adding to the piece!
