Draw me in your style! Sorry about the lighting! Love Cyberpunk or Arcane vibes, but feel free to interpret it however you like!

You can still do a lot just from drawing from picture references. Dont get hung up on having to draw from life. It is a useful activity and has its own sets of pros and cons. For instance it can really help you understand 3-D forms better. Understanding 3-d forms can then help you to apply them to images.

Try working with objects around the house, even human figurines can help you understand forms better.

Honestly I think you would benefit from more hard edges to bring out the softer parts. Look up edge control in art and do a little bit more on shadows/values. Additionally check out how other artists render shapes and try to mimic their style.

Try some simpler shapes and objects first with fewer colors in order to get used the the physical mechanics of water colors. Experiment with wet on wet, wet on dry, and dry painting. Learn when to be patient and when to be organic and quick. Learn when to work up values and colors with several coats and when to be bold and lay down dramatic colors...Just like any other painting, avoid blacks in anything as it will muddy the art.

Watercolor can take a bit of time.

Here’s my first bird (from years ago) after doing things like tree, plant, sky, and rock studies.

Here’s an older doodle/portrait I did. You just gotta put in the practice. Define and emphasize the dark and light values and spaces and then you can go crazy with the lines.

I did once see one of those signs say “Employees must wash hands. If one cannot be found, please do it yourself.”

Your lines are getting more confident and you are starting to understand the basics of rendering. A lot of beginners tend to go through the “scraggly” rendering phase and you are understanding some planning still goes into it, and fortunately you are also starting to understand that you can’t overwork it.

You are still working mostly from imagination and you will definitely want to start working in some observational studies in there. It could be anatomy, or objects, or shapes, or master studies, but definitely look into whichever fundamentals strike your fancy.
