That's rad as hell. Watercolor may as well be magic to me.

TLDR; Thank you! It's alcohol based markers not watercolour.

Thanks, appreciate it! But fyi it's not watercolour but alcohol markers. Main reason is thats its easier (for me atleast) to get richer colours with em (plus there is less buckling of the page). It is a similair principle though, layers and layers from light to dark with sometimes usinf "wett on wett" or "wett on dry", and a lot if blending. But yes watercolour can be absolutley amazing i just lack the skill/interest in it.
