It's great to see you have built up tone in this work. And this is totally your medium! Lovely work Adithi.
I know it's daunting to press harder and make a very dark mark, though that's the beauty of building up.
Mediums like color pencils help us layer the strokes, this helps build tone slowly. Remember it helps to use a darker color from the same family to build up, or purple like you have. Preserve the blacks for the darkest areas - this would be a line or two for high defining edges.
