      @kathrynadebayo Awesome! Your line drawing is looking nice! I like how you're using different colors for different lines, it's already coming to life.

      For your color study, if you're going to watercolor the final, I would do some color studies in watercolor. I think you'll find that it's going to be way more helpful.

      For example, you might not be able to, or even want to replicate some of the darker colors (I'm thinking of the dark blue of the trees and dark red of the bear) of your colored pencil study. I would think with watercolor, you're going to be doing something with a lighter color palette and less contrast than what you can achieve with colored pencil.

      That being said, I'm not a watercolor artist, so I say do what feels most useful for you, I've just always found that if I can solve a problem quickly in a color study, it often saves me a ton of time and heartache.

      Great work!

          @robgale You are absolutely right. I should have done the color study in watercolor. I appreciate you commenting again to make that suggestion... I can see now as I'm working with the paints the wisdom of using the same medium.

          @Johanna-Kim I love your work! Great to hear from you!

            The scary part of adding color is ending up being a lot of fun. 🙂 Here's where things are currently. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.

              More progress. 🙂 I'll probably sit on this for a day or two before trying to make a nice digital version. All feedback welcome. Does anything look off? Maybe the bear is a bit flat?

                I love the glowiness (if that's not a word, it should be) of this! It captures the soft feel of autumn so well. In my opinion, the bear could pop a little more, and the bunny gets a little lost. This is SUCH a sweet image, and I really love it.

                  Such good advice, @Eli . Thank you so much for helping me with this piece. Maybe this is a little better?
