(long rambling about process in the comments)I remembered i've actually got some nice samples from Beam paints (made in 🇨🇦 ) a while ago and tried those out, way better quality.
This time i tried to do less passes, a first light pass with yellow and pink, waited for it to dry, then another heavy pass for shadows with red and purple, those pigments were wayyy better, more intense and thicker while still being transparent AND they blend really well together. -

However, when i tried to add 3rd layer of shadows, i got the muddy pigments patties that i dislike 🤣 you can see it in the right side of the image, the purple dark part on the bumper and the front grid. I also added some white lines on the hair because i thought i wanted details there but regretted, it looks sloppy lol
I'm on the right direction but i have to make it even more simple -

Also how i know it went way better: i barely had to do any color correction after scanning, it' very close to how it looks in person. I also love that the colors bleed out of the panel borders, that are themself red. That's something i saw on a comic my pal Okenki made, As their are not on the fedi i can tell without embarrassing them that they are a comic genius (example https://okenki.tumblr.com/post/770916502962634752)
Anyway, looks like i'm buying Beam paint's full set (expensive)

as far as Joann Sfarr fell off his pedestal, I will still remember his 2 rules of colors i heard on a documentary about him: never color the things the way they are supposed to, and always color outside the lines

other artists that inspire me for this watercolor leveling up : Emma Rios and her comic Anzuelo (https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Anzuelo/Emma-Rios/9798368809267)
and Guillaume Siguelin with his comic PTSD (https://www.ankama-shop.com/en/ankama-graphic-novel-20th-anniversary-limited-edition/4263-ptsd-20th-anniversary-limited-edition-guillaume-singelin.html)
PTSD has the red sketching lines kept in the final pages. Now that's something i was already doing bc i'm lazy, but seeing it on a stylish, finished comic really excited me! idk if i should keep them if i want to simplify my style, but i love them very much and it makes my process so much quicker -
