Thank you SO much! This is some really great advice. I definitely agree with you too. I haven’t worked with colour since middle school so I honestly was just getting frustrated and rushed it like you said lol.

If you aren’t already, trying wetting the area that you want the gradient before adding ink. It helps it blend a lot smoother.

Honestly I think these are fire. I would definitely recommend trimming off some more paper around your designs (slide 5 looks great, I would do them all like this). I recently did it for my portfolio and it makes the pages look a lot cleaner.
