Colouring Book

I was recently asked to colour in this spread from my sketchbook for a publication and also to remove all parts of the sketchbook (ie the gutter and edges). Unfortunately, I didn't have access to the sketchbook in question but I have been getting more confident with Photoshop lately, so I did some cutting and pasting, using pieces from other sketchbooks and there you have it:

I always prefer to work with my hands, a pen and paper if I can help it, but I am discovering too, that Photoshop can be a fantastic tool if you know how to use it. The number of things it can do is so vast that even though I've been using it for years, I feel like I've only skimmed the surface.
