Dragon Orb

Hi everyone, I have finally finished the Kit and Clowder February Colouring Class using the beautiful Dragon Orb by Molly Harrison.


Had to improvise with the colours for the background as I don't have refill inks for Copics.  I did find several alcohol inks I had and used these but am a bit limited on the colours.  However, I think the end result was not too bad.

Hope you like what I've done with this image and would love to hear your feedback.
