Delayed by November

This little piece was delayed by the November Melancholia suffered by Yours Sinc., but here goes:

This ink drawing was scanned in a few different modes.
First I made a dark rendering for the tree, etc. so that you may see the grain of the paper, adding some nice texture.
Next I made a light one for the birds, adding some light and contrast -- and, I would say, balance.
Finally I made the scan that you see the most of, just a few notches darker than the actual original.
All this was followed by some electronic scissorwork (Photoshop).

In the end, some colours were added -- sparingly. We don't have much energy. It's November, right?
