Here are some more simple gesture drawings, done without reference. Critique and advice are welcome as always.

Hello, I feel like the drawings could use some references, and maybe revisiting some Proko videos surrounding on how the spine, and ribcage sort of look and work, I don't really mean the detail, mostly overall shape, it's most visible with the characters laying down, I think examining the neck, spine and ribcage could improve these a lot, I think it's very good to practice various poses, and I hope my feedback helps!

Hello tge. I think you are doing a great job with the colour selection and the basic drawing is beautiful too. I highly recommend you buy proper watercolour paper. This medium will behave completely different and you will love it when it does it's magic on the watercolour paper. I don't know if you alredy know the differences between the types of watercolour paper (hot pressed, cold pressed and rough). I would recomend to start with cold pressed watercolour paper. Hot pressed tends to create blooms (highly recomment hot pressed for coloured pencil and markers) and rough gives you a texture in the painting. Keep up the good work!
Thank You a lot, I think I could say I kind of know a thing or two about painting overall, I do a lot of acrylics and oil paintings, however there was always problem with watercolors though, I own a special paper but I do not always use it, due to working out of home/in public transport even, my biggest insecurity with these paints are surrounding blending, I think watercolors aren't very forgiving and it bothers me a lot, it feels incredibly messy to look at, expecially if even the special paper starts folding mid-process.
Hello, this is something I made in my spare time, I struggle with watercolors and I think it looks muddy in a few places. I also know I did not use a special paper like I should, I will do better. Any feedback on what exactly would you describe as a mistake or how to avoid it would be much appreciated.
