Description
This is a bit of an experiment. I should probably explain.

I have synaesthesia.I have a lot of different forms, including the most common form: grapheme-colour synaesthesia. That means that when I think of numbers or letters, I associate a colour with them, automatically. Around 1 in 100 people have this form of synaesthesia and it tends to be linked with aritstic ability so I'm guessing a lot of people on DeviantArt have it.

I coloured this drawing entirely by writing the digits from 1 to 9 in the colour that I see them. It was a lot more difficult than I expected but I think it has an interesting effect.

1 = white, 2 = red, 3 = orange, 4 = blue, 5 = green, 6 = brown, 7 = very dark purple, 8 = yellow, 9 = black
