Well this is a drawing for my girlfriend, and i want to make it really cool and nice.My only problem is that i suck at drawing mices and chosing color... i tried but... ill let you gues. I was wondering if anyone can help me pick the right colors. If you can see behind the butterfly there is a really long curved line.... thats the mouse's tail and at the bottom left... right under the wing is the end where the mouse should be ). If anyone can help me i would apreciate it ... thanks. ( and please excuse my "lovely english" I forgot to tell that I will color it whit whater colours and maibe the lines whit touch.

Well I'd suggest you give it a shot yourself. Surf some photos on the net of mice and try to draw it. I think it would be nicer if you could draw it yourself if it's a gift. About the colors..well it's all about personal taste, I guess. But not putting too many different colors together would probably be a good idea

I personally would use soft colours for this one, not too saturated, as in watercolours. The line art has a very soft look that´s why I think a strong colouring would take over and unvalance it.

Hey... thanks for ideea... i'll think about. In any case it will be ready only next mounth ( maibe faster) because i have to study for exams. In any case my first ideea was that i draw the butterfly and mouse in soft line art ( as for construction) after the first layer of water colour i think ill use some soft coloured pencils. As for the ine art... ill use ink or maibe a 6-7B to accentuate some parts... . But first... i have to draw that mouse... i'll go google and try it my self In any case i'm open for new ideas. Thanks again!
