Interesting drawings. Have you looked at each one at 100% magnification? Some of the lines are fainter than others. You need strong clean lines on the entire drawing. If I purchased the drawing for my own use, I would want to be able to drop in color in different areas without the color spreading into other parts of the picture.

If lines are open, the paint spreads so fine detail coloring in Photoshop would have to be with a paintbrush.  This is one concern. Read the guidelines and see if there are more for your line drawings. Best regards, JH

Another hint, something I use for repeated patterns, is to select with lasso tool an item to be repeated, copy it and then paste it. This is easy in Photoshop and makes each pasted pattern easy to move around too. No need to redraw and correct. I do this with eyes all the time to get a perfect match, of course, I have to use the free transform to make eyes fit left or right. Don't forget to flatten the finished image.  Have fun! JH
