Failed drawing watercolour pencils | Cowgirl

I started ok with the drawing

Yesterday I came across a contest with daily theme, which for the past day (closing time about now if I remember correctly) the theme was cowboys and cowgirls. Which I liked, so I started looking up some drawings online and cartoonish style images of cowgirls. One of them I liked, so I decided today I will enter last minute.
I was pretty happy with the result that far, so I started fading the colouring with water, and I thought this would be a nice drawing to enter the contest.. and then I used too much water and the paper scratched.. after that happens you can not fix it anymore..

I hate when this happens

And until today I always seemed to fix it one way or the other, but not with this drawing. I did an attempt to draw the mouth with pink as in lipstick, and if I would have drawn it right in one attempt, it would have come out ok.. unfortunately I didn't manage to do so.. and my drawing was screwed.

I had an idea

Maybe I could fix it digital, but as you may know I'm not that great with digital art as I lack knowledge of how to use those apps, and unfortunately I could not fade it or fix it. Then I had another marvelous idea to cut and paste a stitched mouth from an image into the drawing and maybe with the right size and right way of fading the edges it could come out ok.. but again I failed to do correctly.. lol.

I gave up

But I hate useless attempts of drawings so therefore I picked the previous process picture where I was not too far adding the details and converted to black and white. The reason I won't show the one with the messed up mouth is because it really looked clownish and I am too ashamed to show it. The good news is, I will do another attempt later, and will not mess that one up, I have practiced now lol, so I'm confident I can make a good one after this. The funny thing is that I also forgot to bookmark the contest, so I could not enter anyway, so even though I was just in time if I had not messed it up, I guess it had to be this way lol. I don't mind if you laugh at this drawing, because I did too :)
