keep in mind were your light is coming from and don't be afraid of adding those dark shadows to make that yellow look brighter!

I am using water colour paint to render this drawing but I have no clue how to do the spotlight lighting affect where the light falls. I ended up using too bright of a yellow so now it just looks like a highlighter was drawn over it but idk how to fix that either

Unexpected visitor

I want the person on the left to exhibit fear. Mouth is giving me a hard time. other side of the face finally feels right but I expect it could be "shallower?". The rest of the perspective feels right I am just double checking my perspective and form before I proceed.

Face drawing practice

How did I do? Was attempting to do a more harder angle, I really struggle to draw the forehead and the jaw plus chin in this angle. Any critique on what I can fix and improve upon? Btw, I wasn't using any reference except the skull.
