Ask Grok to color your own old line art

@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.
