Not sure what types of watercolor you are using, but I recommend using less black when doing watercolor. It often makes things come out muddy. Watercolor has a lovely translucent quality that works best without black getting in the way.
For shadows try using complementary colors or even purples/blues instead of black.
if i was invited to give you an advice, i would ask you to stop searching for lines and try to draw forms instead. A face is just a consolidation of different volumes
Merci. I’ll try to focus on forms more. I did start this with pen and ink so I did have to incorporate lines. I need to go more solo with just watercolor
