I really like the concept and composition of this drawing. It really looks like the raindrop is reflecting different parts of the world around it. I wonder what each panel stands for.

The 2 darker panels at the top really help emphasize the shape. That said I do think some panels are more interesting than others. I really love the middle one with it’s many cheerful and contrasting colors. I also like that the same hues of purple and orange return in different area’s of the painting. But I feel some of the panels around it could have used a splash more color, contract or detail. The background of the purple feathers on the bottom left and the tablecloth on the top right look a little lighter than the rest. I like the panel on the bottom right much more, with it’s subtle but detailed water pattern.

The pine trees could use some work as well (or possibly less work). They now all look very even and the same with they leveled pointy branches, but real trees are much more wild and uneven. The pine trees in the bottom right corner, that are not outlined, look much better for example. So you don’t have to try to make everything look perfect and even to make a nice painting. In that same regard, the heavy green outline of the mountain on the water surface is not necessary either.

Your paper also looks a little damaged in some places. Be careful not to paint over the same area too often if you want to avoid this. Or it might just be that this paper is not very suited for watercolor, it looks a little thin as well.

Overall this is a great illustration with real potential and some actual meaning behind it. Keep up the good work!

I would put this colors:

- Compass > Gray

- Feathers > Desaturated green

- Crystals > Turquoise and White for light reflections

I'm in the same situation about watercolors, last time I use them was 25 years ago.

Constellations for the blank spaces looks great !

Still, I would fix a bit some lines with a ruler or a compass, to make them more pro

Came from ProjectComment - I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece. The outline looks very intriguing, especially for a watercolor. Seems like it will be fairly complex, so it should really stand out.

Try making a map with a compass crystals and feathers.

Like old treasure maps.
