Soft green, lilac bows and brown hair
In this version by soirolaba_scrap, green connects the hat, hoodie and socks. Lilac returns in the large bow, skirt and sneakers: repeating these shades ties the smaller details into the outfit.
Look at the shadows in the bow
The edges tucked into the knot are darker, while the rounded parts stay light. Try that contrast on one loop before moving on. It is a small, manageable way to practice shape and shading.

Three details to take your time with
Let the plaid follow the folds
Start the stripes with light pressure. Deepen them where they dip into a fold without changing their path; leave the raised edges lighter.
Keep the pigtails light and flowing
Follow the hair with long, fine strokes. Alternate lighter and darker browns and leave small gaps for highlights. Avoid giving every strand the same weight.
Help the laces stand out
Color around the laces first, keeping them light. A small shadow below each crossing separates them from the shoe without a heavy black outline.
Another idea: violet with touches of gold
Witch outfit: violet and gold
This creative Atlas palette combines violets, indigo, gold and sepia. Try violet on the hat and skirt, indigo in the deepest folds and a little gold on the earrings and ornaments. It is an alternative to soirolaba_scrap’s example, so you can give your witch a different look.
