Description
~watercolor, coldpressed watercolor paper (A7 each)~It's been a long time since I got time to finish something polished and I enjoyed this little series. Just wanted to combine pretty and harmonizing colors. Reference are photos of my own cupcakes I made sometime. Patterns made in photoshop and drawn with use of my lightboard.
Β I'll load a timelapse of one painting to my instagram so if you'd like, check it out
I practised a lot color mixing, I'd love to hear if you see I suceeded in choosing harmonizing colors for each peace in my opinion or how you'd rather choose the colors!
~constructive critique welcome~

Wow this is making me hungry! I love how you did the wrappers, the color are so pretty to look at (i love pastels), and the frosting has a fantastic look to it: it looks actually textured in a realistic way! The backgrounds are also perfect for this piece, since they are light and make the wrapper colors pop out
There's only two things I can see that you could fix, but they are extremely small things so don't worry! The first one is the color of the icing in the top left one. It's a very pretty color, but it's a bit hard to see it since it's so lightly colored. I'd say try shading it a bit differently so we can see the curve of the icing more, or choose a just oh-so slightly darker yellow as the mid-tone, so the light color now can be the highlights.
Finally, the last thing I can say could be done differently would be the way the icing is shaped on the bottom left. It looks great, but it seems to be just a bit too rounded (the layers seem to not have much effect on the shape of it). Just make the edges of each layer a bit more prominent and make the shape of it look more natural to what icing would look like if it were layered like that.
Like I said, these are just very tiny things that you can change. Your work is amazing, and I really don't see any major things that need fixing

Thank you very much for the feedback and compliments
Yeah you're right I also thought of the icing as too light but more saturated wouldn't fit with the pastel look maybe this should've been another combination with a darker background after all. And I think I know what you mean with the poop shaped one on the buttom
