You're welcome!
It is! Are you coloring on the paper and then adding water to that? I used to take a wet brush to the tips to get color and then apply that to paper with the brush.

Yeap, I color then add water and wait for it to dry. Then I repeat this process all over again

thank you!
Hmm tips? Well it took me awhile to experiment and I still don't think I'm that great with them but you should test out soem techniques
Here's what I picked up:
- less water for more color, more water to make it lighter
-let shades dry first before working on a diff shade of color
- you can also make the paper wet and then apply the watercolor pencil but the color is VERY strong so be careful
- lastly, DO NOT dip the pencil into water! It breaks it!
I hope those helped? they were very basic

This looks very good, and really realistic 
As stated above though, I think it would look even more real if you removed the outlines

This is really beautiful. You did a good job on it. But there's one thing I would advice, if you like:
Try to remove some "outlines" oh the pettals. I would say that the vertices should get some highlights.
And then, add some ligher colours to the top of the picture and add some darker colours (without much saturation) to the bottom in order to add more depth to it.
But this is only a little tipp, all in all it's a wonderful piece!

Thank you so much for the tips
also..I believe the scanner I currently have messes with the saturation and colors of the picture =[ it's so much more prettier as a hard copy...Maybe I should start selling my works because the scanner doesn't do them any justice!

In my opinion, there's no one who totally perfect. Everybody has to improve their skills and you improve yourself only if you practise a lot and watch closely your environment.

aw don't be sorry 
It's true no one's perfect but I'm always looking to improve and better myself so I feel down when I can't reach certain goals or get to a certain level that I want to achieve
