I thought it would be fun to work though the Line and Wash class at same time as Jane. I am using a sketchbook whose paper I have never tried before and this turned out a hot mess lol.

I never leave enough white space

I think its lovely and I really enjoy the warm colours. What I would do if I wanted to 'tidy' the painting is let this layer dry completely (which it should be by now) and then add a second layer on the dry background. This second layer will be brighter (as on top of the first) and it can help make the edges a little sharper. You can also use colour pencil for this. I would focus on the shadows mostly as you have a lovely mix of colours on the page already.
