Illustration Friday - Propagate

This week for Illustration Friday I did a pen illustration and colored it digitally
in PhotoShop. It's so much fun playing around in PhotoShop, a software
with endless possibilities.
Print of this illustration came out as I expected...I'm in love with it!

It will be added to the shop tomorrow.
Here is the original illustration in pen on 8.5"x11"paper.

  29. Thanks a lot for your kind comments! Big big hugs!!

    Thanks a lot dear Lina! :) My printer is: Epson Stylus Photo R2880. I'm not sure if they still make it, maybe newer models are in the market, but any Epson printer with "UltraChrome K3™ with Vivid Magenta" inks is great for printing artwork.
