Como criar ilustrações de cenário: um processo para desenhar e pintar com aquarelas e guache

Hi Jeannie, thank you so much for publishing your project! I really love your little scenery, it is really cute!For what you did well: your drawing and painting are very alive. You managed to balance all the shapes in an harmonious way, and you calculated the proportions of your characters very well relative to the background, which is such a tricky part! Your sketch is invisible on your final painting, and you knew how to balance the use of watercolors and gouache efficiently (or at least the light and dark paint, it's not always obvious to differentiate watercolors and gouache.) You also painted beautiful color nuances with watercolors, which make your painting very interesting!What you can improve: be careful that the local colors of each element don't outpass the line art. This might happen either due to your hand stability (in that case, just keep practicing, it will get stable with time :) ) or your brush might be too loose for precision (marten brushes are the best for that, but if you don't have it you could use some firm synthetic brush when precision is needed as well. Don't hesitate to switch brushes often if needed!). In some places, it looks like your watercolor bleeded involuntarily into the next color, so to prevent that, make sure your paint is completely dry before painting elements next to each other. Also, be careful of your line weight, especially for your characters, as they are the focal point of your drawing: They are in front of the shelves, so to make them more readable, their line should be thicker than the one of the back shelves (but still thinner than the front shelf). The more depth there is to your drawing, the more line variation between each plane there should be. As for the line art itself, even if you go over it several times to thicken it, be careful to make it look like there is only one stroke, and that the lines don't split. Don't hesitate to take your time for this as it requires precision!That's it for the feedback, but you did a really great job! Don't hesitate if you have questions. ;)

Fanny, thank you for this incredibly detailed feedback. I am relatively new to using watercolors and paint as a medium, in general. This is pretty evident based on my colors bleeding past the inked lines as you mentioned. I'll be certain to practice this and to gather some marten brushes to try out. 

My biggest concerns of focus were making sure the color palette aligned well and didn't appear too saturated in areas along with showing depth within the image. I'll need to practice varying my line weight on my focal points (characters). Overall, great course. I thoroughly enjoyed it and took some key tips away from it.

Oh ok, you did a really good job for someone who is new to the subject!! And you're completely right to focus on one thing at a time, as our knowledge always come together very slowly. As for your color palette, everything looks very harmonious, so you fully reached your goal. :) And thank you for your feedback about my course, I'm happy you found it useful, as I'm the one who is completely new to teaching! :,) If you don't mind, don't hesitate to leave a review, that would help me a lot! But no worries if you don't have the time, I would understand very well. &lt;3
