This was inspired by the artwork of AnneliesDraws. She has an amazing skills with gouache and colored pencils. I don't have gouache paints and so I tried making an illustration using my watercolor paints. I tried increasing the opacity of the watercolor to almost the same as of the gouache paints.
By the way, this is her instagram:

An old attempt at spray paint that didn't go so well. After a few years about being forgotten, I was able to see it from a new perspective and I just let my hand use the inspired energy to create "Starburst".
