Hi Mike, It looks like you are well on your way working with water colors.
If I might suggest that you try your hand at not burning in the outline on your pictures. Transfer patterns with graphite as always but shade along those lines. Susan covered that some in the tutorial she just did. You'll be amazed at the depth you can create that way.

Susan has some fantastic greenman creations, don't be afraid to elaborate on them and add your own touches. It's a great way to ease into creating your own without causing any stress if you're doing it right or not.

Thats certainly sound advise and will certainly try that out........
Just normal Transfer then shade or work in... instead of burning the outline of the Pattern!! Is that correct...........!!

Kind Regards Mike

Yep, that's correct. I'm sure you can do it, you've already been shading.
