As requested, I made a version of the Karn forest garden with colour. It came out a lot more fairytale-like than I was envisioning. I think part of that is just the nature of coloured pencils. I only have access to an old scanner at the moment as well, so a little of the subtlety of colour was lost.

Nevermind, when I buy more to replace them, I'll get the Prismacolor. If I can find it in Canada, that is. I actually have one of those wax blender pencils already, but I haven't gotten as vivid results as I got with the marker.
