How's this style
-
She is so fabulous, and not too saturated! I adore her!
The only thing I’d look out for is when your tones get too even, like on her face in the second image. It’s no big deal, but it breaks her chaotic feel a bit when the painting is too perfect. I’d add a splotch of some red or something to one cheek to break up the evenness, but this is really just nitpicking.
I can’t wait for your book to come out. If anyone is destined for fame, I think it’s you.

@Kristen-Lango I see it, and I think that may be from me sharing this image on instagram and applying a filter to it. They're all bright white in my final images folder
-
@Mia-Clarke good point!! I'll go back in on that one, thanks!
Ha, fame would probably drive me insane -
I love your style! The characters all have so much personality! It reminds me too of Quentin Blake's work.
And it doesn't look too saturated to me, especially in the first image (but that's the one with the Instagram filter?). I struggle with the saturation on my scanned watercolor pieces too. Do you keep the original paintings next to your computer when you do color corrections? That helps me a lot.
Sometimes I take photos of them instead, but that's another learning curve! I'm still figuring out how to get the lighting right. But it's an idea, in case you're handy with a camera.
Your linework is fantastic and I love how expressive you made your characters. I bet kids'll love them! Looking forward to seeing your work on the shelves!

Oh yeah, for sure what you are doing is working. Keep going. The saturation is perfect, your Quentin Blake style is phenomenal and influenced much of my love for line art and funky characters, which is unique in the market. I am one of your biggest fans!!! So yes, don't change a thing.

A few more and an adjusted one. Got rid of that Piranha plant, fussed with other elements.

@kylebeaudette Your work makes me laugh out loud, especially these last two. The characters are so good. Not too saturated from my point of view, except maybe the one of her sitting under a canopy at the table.
-
Perfect @kylebeaudette!
-
@kylebeaudette Oh I really love that blue one, you nailed the shadows on this!
-
More! This is from the first page of the book. -
@kylebeaudette Lovin' the expression of her in the bed!

These look really nice. Your style reminds me of the illustrator who illustrated Roald Dahls books, Quentin Blake. Nice work mate.
