"Somewhat" is definitely more towards the formal end of the scale. The best way I find to judge formality is to see if it would sound right if found in a Jane Austin novel. "Somewhat" certainly does sound like something she would say.

Also, "quite" is a confusing word, because its meaning depends on the tone of voice. For example, read the next two sentences:
 * Hey Person1, that drawing you did is actually quite good!
 * No, that colour doesn't look quite right next to that one.

Both are references to drawing, like in your example, however in my first sentence, "quite" does mean very, while in the second it means not very. Because of the vague nature of the word "quite", I think we should definitely avoid it at all costs. It's meaning is too reliant on context, and there isn't enough context in the difficulty level to make it clear.
