Fun, but how???

This isn't my first time using water color, but it is my first time going for more that basic shadows in it. I usually paint in oils or digitally. I feel like it's so muddy, even though it was wet on dry. This probably isn't the best subreddit, but I couldn't find anywhere better.

I really like watercolor, and it's super fun for me, even though I have no clue what I'm doing. But still, it's frustrating when it's not even close to what I wanted it to be.

I just want advise on how to do better next time. What I don't like it how the colors mix, and how the highlights barely exist. The hair also looks flat, and I don't know what to do.

I think I'm biased, so I need a second opinion.

I'm pretty young, (16f) so my personality might change. I've usually tested ENTJ, INTJ, ISTJ, and ENTP. I'm leaning towards ENTP, but I think I have a bias for INTJ. I just want to know to satisfy my brain, cause I don't like having an unclear answer to a question.

I like to hang out with people and one of the things I like about school is that I get to collaborate with classmates. I used to be homeschooled, so I didn't get that so much when I was younger. Again collaboration is a big thing for me.

I'm not really a leader per say, but my thoughts are usually fairly respected even by those a lot older than me. I don't really have as firm as a plan as I'd like, but when I jump into a project, I usually find that I was better equipped than I thought, and I know exactly what to do next. Like a subconscious plan or something???

I also really like listening to people debate and will join in to test my points, but also I'm pretty non confrontational otherwise. I don't like it when people actually start arguing and would prefer to come to a solution peacefully instead of fighting for an extra hour. But honesty is one of my strongest values, so sometimes for it's sake I must be confrontational.

I prefer to jump from idea to idea. I can never stick with a creative idea, and I have to have something new and novel all the time. I also love doing things differently once in a blue moon. Usually I like to stick to my schedule and plan everyday. Being part of a band makes me pretty busy, and I like being in control of my plans and I like to know what's going on all the time, which makes me a bit nosey. But every now and then I like to completely change things for a day.

Even though im an artist right now, since I get paid for my art, I don't want to go that path of uncertainty. I want to become an architect due to being good at math and art. It also pays better, and is more stable, so it seems to be a better fit for me. But if art does become a stable income I'm open to it. I'm just saying this so you can see my decision making process here, instead of telling you what I think of myself.

But I think I tend to make decisions based on outsider consensus. I love asking for advice from anybody and everybody, and just choose what I think is the most plausible and makes the most sense, cause the counsel of seems like the best idea.

Lastly, my actual group of friends is kinda small, maybe three or four people. There are loads of people I get along with, and people who I consider important to me, but people who reach out first is low, so I consider my friend group small

I also forgot to say, but another reason why I lean towards ENTP is cause everyone I talk to outside my family calls me talkitive, friendly, and outgoing. But it's still confusing cause my family thinks I'm too private, cause I'm in my room alone all day. I also enjoy small talk cause it's a script I can follow really easily, and people like me more when I do. Low effort, high reward
