This is awesome! Thank you! I appreciate the suggestion to darken the outer areas around the characters. I'm new to watercolors and am finding it challenging to get contrasting light and dark areas without just using black. Hmm...
I appreciate the lighting effects you added from the lightning. I agree that the influence of the lightning might be more apparent than I have currently.
I also was contemplating having the older girl look down instead of up, but in the end went with this. Your point about character connection will be good to think more about next time.
