After I added that additional layer of paint I started to like it a lot more, that was an advice I got from one of my favorite artists, Marij a T iurina. She always goes over her watercolors with an additional layer of paint to add more depth and saturation. Once they dry, watercolors lose some of their saturation and that’s a good thing to remember. I added details to the whole drawing with color pencils, this is an optional step and I don’t always do it, but it felt like it needed more details. You cannot always make sharp lines with watercolor so I added lines to her skin and the pumpkin. I also used markers in some parts where I felt there was too much white, don’t be afraid to mix mediums, you could also use acrylics or gouache to add details after.
