Description Allow me to start by saying I'm quite happy with this drawing, so if you are not for some reason, I beg your pardon I'm usually not 100% satisfied with every new picture, and just get too tired to continuously improve it, so I just stop somewhere. This time however, I did enjoy the process till the end! And it took me several days to complete.

I wanted to try new technique, so I took a gel pen and A3 paper. After couple of days of relaxed drawing, I scanned the result and continued in Photoshop - added text layers, colors, effects, and some little details (which took another couple of days). I also made several color variations, because I am not sure which color combination is better, so I figured I'd publish all of them.

As you can see, this picture is very hard to use as desktop background - it is too busy with details, hard to see any icons above it. This is intentional. Usually I design my wallpapers with lots of empty space, to make them easy to use. This drawing was specifically designed for my highly successful collaboration with DecalGirl.com - [link] - they sell vinyl skins for laptops, phones and other devices. So I made this drawing with print in mind, not screen. You might even want to get a poster - I can assure you it will look impressive

P.S. If you're curious, the text written on the pages is from Alice in Wonderland - no wonder, is it?

They are taken from the fairy tales of Grimm, Charles Perrault Brothers, Hans Christian Andersen, Carlo Collodi
but also the novels of Lewis Carroll, Alexandre Dumas, Jonathan Swift, Johanna Spyri, Lyman Frank Baum, Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont and Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann.

I'm starting a writer's group called the inkWELL, and am looking for images to use for advertisements, flyers, etc.
May I use this lovely photo?

I think this color combination is better (but I guess it's a question of feeling)
It's not the kind of wall I use but you made a really good job on it

I thought it might be Alice in Wonderland! And I like green best, but the design itself is lovely no matter what (:
