Mangoes, or is it mangos?

I was unhappy with my watercolor application on my "Buffalo Springfield" sketch, so I practiced some more with a few mangos sitting on the counter. I realized that:
A) I am impatient waiting for watercolors to dry 
B) adding watercolor pencils afterwards added some nice depth and shadows that I was desperately craving. (see the before and after pic)
C) much more skilled adding watercolor pencils than actual watercolors
