Thanks! Colouring this one thingy has already taught me a few things - such as that I need to keep track of the sequence of my layers. It's probably best to work from the background up... If only I could predict how quickly (or not) I will learn to use Photoshop!
As I said to Valis, above, digital colours would allow me to cater to two audiences because they make it possible to have a colour version while keeping my inks intact. (I think that the simple technique I used in this test would work better with inks than pencils.) But as it is now, if I manage to make something decent-looking in Photoshop, it's more a case of beginner's luck than a result of skill :/.
You are right about the italics. I bolded all the words in italics in another file, but I forgot to replace this jpeg. It's something I have to keep in mind for this font.
