Description Allow me to start by saying I'm quite happy with this drawing, so if you are not for some reason, I beg your pardon I'm usually not 100% satisfied with every new picture, and just get too tired to continuously improve it, so I just stop somewhere. This time however, I did enjoy the process till the end! And it took me several days to complete.

I wanted to try new technique, so I took a gel pen and A3 paper. After couple of days of relaxed drawing, I scanned the result and continued in Photoshop - added text layers, colors, effects, and some little details (which took another couple of days). I also made several color variations, because I am not sure which color combination is better, so I figured I'd publish all of them.

As you can see, this picture is very hard to use as desktop background - it is too busy with details, hard to see any icons above it. This is intentional. Usually I design my wallpapers with lots of empty space, to make them easy to use. This drawing was specifically designed for my highly successful collaboration with DecalGirl.com - [link] - they sell vinyl skins for laptops, phones and other devices. So I made this drawing with print in mind, not screen. You might even want to get a poster - I can assure you it will look impressive

P.S. If you're curious, the text written on the pages is from Alice in Wonderland - no wonder, is it?

They are taken from the fairy tales of Grimm, Charles Perrault Brothers, Hans Christian Andersen, Carlo Collodi

I looks really cool ^.^b
I'm always amazed by people who are so good at drawing details and though the picture is not as empty as the others it's still not overloaded and perfect for a print just as you said
I wish I had a plant like that though
