No need to use caution when lost in your imagination! The scan isn't great on this one - you may want to click on it to see it bigger + some more details.
Well, I have come to a decision about which medium I will use for my book (gouache vs. watercolours). I'm going to stick with the tried and true (w/c). I think more than anything, learning gouache to any level of mastery in a limited time is a stress I don't need to put on myself!
And I think watercolours will be just fine, thank you very much. I want to make sure I use them intensely, brightly - so I will keep having fun with this. Also experimenting with using coloured pencils for shading in this one, giving it a bit of a sketchy/hand drawn feel, which I like.

great job! I love that sky
Fabulous! What a lovely imagination!
like the idea of what he is reading being played out in the clouds in the sky: michael dailey
Lovely carefree illustration!
He's definitely thrown caution to the wind! I love the mood you've set!
Beautifully done!! Just love this illustration!
I think sticking with what you know you can do really well is a very wise choice, especially as you say, under pressure. You do water colour SO well, why mess with that now?
Anyway, you can use gouache in your next book, wink wink.
p.s. thanks so much for you kind comment re: our invites :D
This looks like a perfect place to be on a summer day. Nice work!
Lovely, oh to be doing that right now. : )
It must be a relief to have made your decision and settled on your direction. If the brightness of these colours is anything to go by you are well on your way... I could dive into that beautiful blue.
Yes! caution can be thrown to wind while exploring imagination :)
