Flowers really are fun. I'm not very imaginative so many times I need to see the image colored and follow that as a pattern.
It is helpful to see an image colored and when creating with a Thomas Kinkade image I'd find the painting online and use it as a guide. I do that for flowers too.
Flowers are always fun to color. I'm especially fond of sunflowers and roses. I don't mind coloring people, though I'm not good at all with hair. That's OK. Most of the people who get my cards are not stampers so they don't know how badly my coloring really is!
As for least favorite, I'd have to say that anything with super fine detail (areas so small that a double pass with my pen causes it to bleed into the surrounding areas) and anything that needs to be colored black. My black coloring never looks realistic.
I love colouring flowers as well but I must say I am a very impatient stamper....not much time and I often feel rushed. I think that is why I love the images that I can colour with my Memento markers, spray with water and stamp for a watercolour look.

I hear you about the black colouring. I recently started colouring areas I wanted to be black with a dark grey Copic then went in with the black to add shading. I have been much happier with the results.

I used a C9 for the tires. I should have started with C5 and worked up to C7 instead. :-)
