Wow, those eyes are HUUUGE! I even toned them down as much as I could while coloring them.

Hah, I learned a lot from this coloring job. I could have kept tweaking the picture, but in the end I just ran out of gas. And one must also remember that one can put too much work into something and end up ruining things about it you liked.

Here are some statistics, should you be interested.

Black and white - drawn with pens and pad bought at Wal-Mart of all places.
Pencil time - About 2 hours off and on.
Ink time - 1 1/2 hours.

Colored in Photoshop, using a Wacom Bamboo tablet.
Time to color - 6-7 hours
Time to shade - a little over 1/2 hour.

As I said, not perfect - but I learned quite a bit.
