Art help somebody?

hello, I've been doing Hetalia fan arts for a while, but this time I tried something different..which is watercoloring.. I just wanted to ask for help, if anyone would be kind enough to give critics to my watercoloured artworks and point my mistakes out, or even give me some coloring techniques.That would be nice enough..^_^
I do hope that any of you would be kind enough help me fix my art.. Thanks..

I can't help you improving because I think you're great ! Your watercolour style is really beautiful, you know how to use them and use colours.. I really don't know what to say..
I simply wanted to leave a comment to tell you that your pics are amazing ! *A*

I agree with the comment above. I looked at your pictures and my jaw DROPPED. That first picture seriously has my heart it's GORGEOUS. Anyone who can use watercolor like that truly is an amazing artist. Beautiful job. ;.;

I don't know anything about painting. I was awful at it and don't have the patience.
From what I can see, though, your painting looks good! It's a sweet, cute image and the colours match it well.

I've only painted once in my life, and I have to say watercolors are hard to control. I can't critique anything, but I think your art is amazing already!

I think it's great the way it is, but I understand that you want to improve. x3 I hope someone will be able to help you, I'm not good enough with watercolours and my style is waaaay too différent when I'm painting. XD

Well, as someone whose watercolors turn up a big, blobby, wet-into-wet, water-crazy mess, I admire your restraint and layering!

Honestly, as a watercolorist, there's not much I can advise really in terms of technique. Your colors are gorgeous and well controlled without being overly controlled, and the only things I can think of that you may not have tried are really just techniques that are fun to play with that don't necessarily fit your style. Playing with wax, salt and rubbing alcohol can give you some great ideas on what more you can do with watercolor. Other than that, if you want to maybe give certain edges a softer feel, you can reactivate the pigments by going back over them with a clean, wet brush and lift some of a harsh edge or blend it out. If you haven't done serious color theory, look it to it so you can also get a little more depth in your pieces.
