mm I see, I do this already I guess I'm just super picky with the colours and it looks flat to me sometimes. Or I probably just compare my art style too much with others. lol So I'm never satisfied.
Hm, maybe. I'm no expert on colors but if that's you're deviantart gallery I see nothing wrong with it. Sometimes playing with "warm" colors and "cool" colors within the drawing can help provide that extra depth you may be seeking.

Yeah, I'm just looking to improve. Maybe if I keep watching videos I'll learn something eventually.

How the fk do you pick your colours and how do you contrast them so well? gonk
This is like my biggest weakness. Whenever I look at others' art, the colours they use just make everything pop and here all I wanna do is use black n white if I can because it's easy. :'( Hoooow? How do you know what colours to use and how they'll make whatever you are drawing pop out and blend like that. ugh



There exists pretty good books on color theory and color harmony.

Try looking up "Color Harmony" and "Color Theory" on google. You'll get some good tutorials.

I recommend looking at color theory if haven't yet. It definitely helped me be more mindful of the color I choose.

When I do coloring, I first block in all the base/flat colors, then manually pick darker shades of those colors to do the shading, and lighter ones for highlights. o3o

ugg i dont know if you think i use colors well, check my da

using the color circle
but opposites attract and thats the same for colors, thats call complementary colors
use a traingle shape, it called triatic it adds more depth

using the color square
never go directly virtical or across, go diagonal

good luck happy coloring
I saw somewhere where an artist used ms paint
put in a text, zoom in extra close, bam a palette
