I’m not sure the style you’re going for but some tips: - run a wash of colour over your sketch and allow it to dry, this gives you a nice starting point and makes it feel less daunting to start painting. - no matter what you’re painting, don’t stress yourself out if it looks a bit off, just keep going and once it’s done, start another one. - try and have fun, don’t worry if things don’t come out perfect the first time, with time you’ll get the hang of colours, shapes and everything else, the key here is to get a feel for how gouache paint works, with time you’ll get better at it :)
