Bad drawing, but I learned a lot. About contrasts, and about using some neutral gray watercolor ink, alongside traditional watercolor paint. Drawing without outlines is tricky!

Looks good, is the character OC? I like it. Those shadows are so chill but add so much to it.

Looks good, it's a fun style. I'd kinda looks like her pubes are poking out 🤪

I wouldn't call it bad! It's a fun style! I, also, really like the way you did the hair, adds some nice texture. Are there some things that aren't perfect? Maybe, but that's a thing with watercolours and art, in general. As your learn, you will see how to correct what you view as wrong, you're already pointing out some ways in this piece, which means you'll know for next time. So, keep it up! I'd like to see more

She's adorable, love the cartoony style and proportions.

Looks great to me. Feels like it would make a great video game character

That's very kind, thanks! I'll do better next time!

I’m not sure what you could do better at! But I don’t know much about watercolors really.
