Her Majesty



I've used this colouring technique on small doodles, but this is the first time I've used it on a full size strip. I don't know if I'll be doing it much in future. I still have no idea whether this will print okay in greyscale.

Update: After my computer got borked, I found out that the orignal work file hadn't been backed up properly, and the coloured version had been lost. This picture is all that remained and obviously isn't print quality. I'll eventually get round to recolouring it at some point.
