    How to best color that? Digital would probably be the most efficient, but of course isn’t allowed here.

    Watercolors or colored pencils could work, sort of, but then you’d need to re-ink, most likely, which could get a bit awkward. Oh well, maybe just consider this a ‘thumbnail’ or ‘template,’ and proceed from there…

      From your point of view perhaps, but from my point of view I like it 😀 and that’s the point, right. 👍.

        I wasn’t critiquing it, just wondering what to do from an artistic process-driven POV.

        If you don’t know and don’t care, that’s fine, but I was mainly wondering if any artists here wanted to weigh in on that.

          Oh, then I must have misunderstood you, and I’m sorry. I’m not a professional artist. I just do this for my own enjoyment, and if I don’t like it, I simply redo it. Thank you for commenting again, and I’m glad you wanted to initiate an exchange of opinions 🤝

            Haha, we’re all good. Me, I’ve made art all my life with very minimal training, especially after being rocked by reading a Picasso biography, plus being dazzled by the natural brilliance of kids’ art. I wanted to resist the learning of traditional techniques in order to preserve my childlike energy.

            Years later I came to regret that, and learned that Picasso himself and various others first became flawless masters at a young age, then later had the genius to break free of all their training in order to create completely new forms. Anyway, at the end of the day… art is a process and an expression, so all levels and forms are valid IMO.

            Oops, sorry for the mini-lecture. :O
