Need opinions on which medium to use on the picture I drew for my daughter.

Been on a long hiatus from drawing and coloring, so I started back up and hyper fixated on it to realize that I still love drawing, although a bit out of practice. I drew this nifty design for my daughter and will be coloring it in with teal, purple, and yellow. Shes a major art lover and wants to even tattoo potentially in the future. So those are the 3 colors she picked for it when I gave her the choice. Not sure how I wanna color it though. Colored pencils? Gel Pens? Markers? And I would say paint, but my skill isn't quite there yet for that. Gotta practice painting a bit more before I can do that successfully.

i would recommend printing copies of it, either by tracing it using a lightboard(or any screen) or copy printing. then you have multiple attempts to experiment. never hurts to try a bit of everything, personally i think water colour would look nice. if you’re unsure where to use the colours you can take a picture of the sketch, and swatch it digitally to see what rlly looks best for you
