This is awesome! What type of watercolour (and paper) did you use?
I really like the hair and the detail that you went into! Really well done!

This is so bright and cute! I love how you shaded their skin with a hint of purple (it brings it out more than just a darker shade of the skin tone), added highlights and sparkles, and used colors that create contrast yet flow together nicely.

This isn't so much of a critique as it is a possibility, since every artist has their preferences. You could (and I still need to experiment with this) "blend" together colors so they're not confined within their line space, if that makes any sense. Like, incorporate one color you used in a certain area to a different one also, making it more connected and... interesting? Kind of like how you did with the leaf in the upper right hand corner. I don't know, I still have to work that out myself. XD

If you have time, check out *puimun . She's like a goddess of watercolor
