Ask Grok to color your own old line art

@cedarlili's original black-and-white line art of a small dragon reaching for blueberries, beside the same drawing colored with Grok: a blue dragon, blueberries, green leaves and yellow flowers

@cedarlili took a piece of line art they drew years ago for one of their Inktail books and asked Grok to color it. The post shows the original black-and-white drawing (a small dragon reaching for blueberries under a bee and flowers) next to Grok's colored version.

This is fun. I took a piece of line-art I made years ago (for one of my Inktail books) and asked Grok to color it.
