Details

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, Marija Tiurina. 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.
