    Watercolour artist here!! Quick tips to help anyone struggling with watercolours!!
    1. It’s easier to line your piece after painting it but be wary. The paint sometimes scratches off onto your pen if it’s too thick or too chalky (if this happens it doesn’t kill the pen, just scribble on a loose sheet and it fixes it. It’s annoying if anything). Better materials for lining is lining with the paint itself with a thinner brush, pencils of any kind and especially ballpoint pens. Goes down easier and if it does scratch off paint again, scribble on a piece of paper.
    2. Don’t use too much water in your paint. Ironically enough, you drown the page this way. For your first experiments you used too much water and the colours ended up drying with a darker line around the paint. That’s from the over use of paint.
    3. Be patient. Build slowly. Go from light to dark and layering is your best friend. Some paints reactivate (especially on the cheaper side) so be wary when layering with them.
    4. Most importantly, learn your materials and practice. Play around with what you have, learn different techniques and styles to find what you like be it lineless or not. Clean gradients of textured. Like any material, the final look and the process is dependent on you and what you like.
    (Ok didn’t mean to ramble, if this helped at all your welcome now go have fun!!)

    Yes to hearing more about your world-building. And you did a great job with this main painting. I love the “camels” eyes.

    I wasn’t expecting for the colours to be so vibrant and clear when I saw the pans. 😮 Also super surprised by the paper!!
    The artwork looks amazing and it was certainly worth the sweat!! You made it look so effortless and the way you simply draw a big piece like that is just amazing. 🙌

      Yeah thats why I was so shocked too, swatching them I was just blown away with how different they looked from the pans. They were so beautiful ✨ And thank you so much ❤

    Bonjour j'ai 14 ans et je voulais vous dire que j'adore votre style car je trouve toujours qu'il y a une grande profondeur dans ce que vous créez, comme si chaque dessin avait une histoire. Sachez que je rêverais d'être organisée et d'avoir l'aire si alaise que vous lorsque je dessine. Donc continuez🤩😍

    Your final piece came out so beautiful and warm, I really love it! I'm also impatient with waiting for paint to dry so I have a love/hate relationship with watercolours haha, but seeing how saturated these are makes me very tempted to try again 🤔 thank you for sharing!
