A second colored version. It’s not perfect, but I like it much better than my previous rainbowsplosion. Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback, it really helped me figure out what to do with this thing. The lines have been darkened to help the digital merge with the traditional, and how the colorsplosion has a unified color theme going for it. I am so ready to call this done.

I don’t want to be one of those people that blames their crappy equipment, but man, my scanner did not like these. I gave up and just took a photograph instead. Today I learned a valuable lesson: watercolor is nothing like ink pens.
