My first stab at watercolors.

[Ocelot II]

1. Nice colors and shapes! One suggestion - if you're going to use ink together with water colors,

it's usually better to do the painting first and let it dry, then use ink. If you ink first and then paint, you run the risk of the ink running into the paint - it's likely to be a cleaner result if you ink over dry paint. I didn't see it in your painting but it can happen. Also, check out some youtube tutorials about how to stretch your paper so it doesn't warp or wrinkle, especially if you use wet washes.

Have fun with it. I prefer oils because you can fix mistakes, which I make a lot of (and oils to acrylics as well, which are too flat for my liking and you can't use glazes), but I've done some water colors that didn't suck too much.
