Yay! I was wondering if you make just a pencil outline and then just paint over it?

Yes, but before painting I wipe the pencil lines so they become very light and thin - when you use watercolours over them you won't be able to wipe them anymore (and I sign what I draw - like "forest", "river" - can forget that) If you have other questions, just ask me (and sorry for my English - I feel that I made several mistakes)

That is so helpful, thank you! I greatly appreciate it and your English is perfect. I make mistakes when I write all the time so no worries haha

Thanks! Yes, you can layer it (and I often do that, for shadows and details). The problem is if you layer it too much, the painting will become a bit dirty and lose transparent feeling. Maybe the best are 1-3 layers, 4 if you really need that

Wow! I love this piece of artwork you created, it's got a lot of events going on, very busy but very interesting.

Thank you a lot (When I drew it I sometimes forgot what I was drawing so I had to sign details right on the painting. That was funny )

I don't think I'm familiar with the tale, but this is a great stylized piece. There is a lot going on, and there is a lot of wonderful intricacy. Well done!
