My sister uses water colors. Looks good ngl. I believe you do the outlines first and later fill them with the water colors.

I'm guessing you meant the "paler"/less saturated colors 1st then adding more layers of color on top

I do everything in ink (after sketching some rough shapes in pencil, this includes using grayscale to mimic color like an old TV would), but I'm trying to learn this shit medium
