I like these. Any interest in adding one to a coloring book that I'm putting together? I"d like to market a variety of artists' work

Thank you!
Sorry for the delay, haven't been around for much lately.
Anyways I used watercolor pencil crayons to color it, then used a blending pen to mix the colors.

That's alright, I've been busy myself.
I've been getting more and more into watercolor pencil, but I haven't found good paper to go with it yet. Any tips? I really have no clue when it comes to watercolor paper or anything

I was just using my standard sketch pad. The blending pen moistens the paper just enough to smudge the water color pencils, so there really wasn't a need for heavier paper. I think if you were going to use brush and water to blend the colors, water color paper would probably be advisable. What type of paper to use....I'm not really sure, I am also in the dark. I've just been experimenting a little. Try checking the net...Sorry I couldn't be more help

Oh wow, this is wonderful. Your art is really taking a new direction and I'm loving it. Style, patterns and mechanics = spot on.

I like it a lot. The background does more for the piece than if it was merely white, and the coloring does a good job of illustrating the intricacies.

Messing around is good. It works best in areas where you've created both value and color contrasts. Keep exploring
