Oh, that is adorable. And I love the coloring here. Watercolors? It looks like it. Anyway, I love it. <3

Thank you <3
Yes, it was done with watercolors :)

h my goodness! This is absolutely adorable--thank you so, so much! I can't stop looking at their hands; oh man, this is clever and beautifully rendered and I love the prompt-incorporation (thank you, I thought it was a bit of a stretch but you handled it wonderfully). I totally don't deserve this, but you certainly deserve some &hearts&hearts&hearts! Thank you so so much.

One question, if that's okay--how did you do the pinstripes on the suit? It looks like you used watercolor, but it's so finely controlled. Gah, it's SO PRETTY, I can't stop thinking thank you! Or using exclamation points!

I'm happy that you liked it, I spent a lot of time on trying to think of something for you. (And I'm usually not that good at witty/funny things)

And thanks for the "<3"'s =D

Yeah sure it's okay to ask: You're right, I used watercolors for the picture itself but I did those pinstripes with white ink and a dip pen.

I really like this, too -- can't stop smiling!

I like the way you've used the details of their clothing and expressions to build their characters.

Nicely done!

Lovely piece :-) Really beautiful colouring, especially on Aziraphale's jumper.

Very cute! I'd not quite pictured Crowley as the three-piece suit (jacket left off of course) type but have gotten used to him in standard flashy black.

The transparent watercolor is very delicate, subtle in the way it complements the linework. Really like the interpretation of Aziraphale's infamous love of tartan in the pullover sweater vest, the pattern is cleanly rendered as a good fashion drawing. And their expressions are so typical: Crowley intent and Zira bemused.
