You should be! :)
Btw, I just noticed that you coloured this with watercolour pencils. I don't really have much experience with them so I was wondering, did you shade with the pencils first and then use water?

Well, basically I colored it in layers.
I'd add a flat wash of a base color first, brush over with water, then let it dry.
Then add another layer of color to shade it with, add water, then let it dry, etc.
Basically did this over and over again until I got the look I wanted.
Hope that helped. :3

Watercolor pencils definitely take some time and experimentation to get used to, but they're great to work with and fun to use, so I hope more people try them. ^-^
