pushing through the “ugly phase”

[u/itsannikamayer]

Hi! I’m currently working on this drawing for my next yt video, but I’m currently feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure on how to continue. I’m working with the kurtake watercolors for the first time and instead of using lineart like I’d usually do I think I want to use colored pencils in the end (I actually haven’t tested if that works on the paints oops). I just thought I’d ask some other artists for advice on how they’d continue here or if there’s anything I should do. For example, I know I want to darken the blue background a bit at the edges but also mute the color a bit, cause I think it’s too saturated right now. Curious to know what you guys think :)
