Nice work!

Hey there! Nice start with the watercolor sketches. The big thing with watercolor is not overly trying to control the paint. So try to think in clear values and watch out for "dabbing" the paint too much. Try painting at different sizes and see where the sweet spot is. Painting a tad larger than you normally would pencil sketch something seems to work for many. Doing a big painting in watercolor is, in many ways, easier than doing a small one.

Hey Damian, that's great that you have someone in mind that you are looking at. By all means continue down that path if you are drawn to it.. That feeling is something that is a strong guide and shouldn't be ignored.
There is definitely no "right" way of working in any medium. Traditionally, watercolorists paint in big areas and let the paint mix on the paper. charles reid is a great example of that kind of style (pictured below).
Keep up the studies. They are really a great start. I would suggest finding two or three other watercolorists working similar to what you are going for. Then buckle down and try to do a solid "master copy". That is a quick path for getting good at controling the medium in the way you want.
Good luck!

Comparing your last sketch with the first, we see at once that you are getting more comfortable with the medium! Keep going!
