Do not do this. This is why your strokes are so shaky and scratchy looking.

>>4779833
light, shadow, bounce light on shadows, occlusion shadow, highlights

all you need

for skins add some red because blood where shadow and light meet

>>4779859
those spheres tutorials are so fucking useless.

>>4779880
Nah, you’re just too retarded.

>>4779880
Nahh ur just fkin stupid

>>4779880
Nah you’re right, that guy is bad

>>4779859
He's drawing skin, not a storm in a glass sphere from 1997, Christ.

>>4779880
Nah yeah they are

>>4779909
But that red lady is shinier than skin is

>it never comes out like in pic related
Do more value studies and shut the fuck up. If you can't even do something as basic as your pic related it means you're just a beg fuck. Go practise values and ignore color for the moment.

most of his courses are on lighting which is definitely an important aspect but it won't help this anon with blending. You can do proper lighting and still suck at blending

>>4779833
It really be like that tho. Flat color, shade, HIGHLIGHT (you kinda skipped that one).
> never comes out like in pic related - we can't help too much if we don't see what you're doing (unless picrelated is yours)

cope some more

Just fucking steal your colors from better artists till you figure it out. Nobody's gonna take a color picker to your shit and cancel you because you borrowed a pallete.

>>4779880
Correct!

>>4779868
then how would you do it then?

>>4779833
Use Ctrl Paint. Hard round and soft round, the sinix vid in first reply. Albedo, shadow, and bounce/ambient are the main sources of light.

Learn to use RGB color sliders for color instead of just HSB/HSV. Read Lin ran's color tutorial, Sycra also made a video on it. The sliders clearly move in a pattern you'd understand if you understood color picking with RGB sliders.

i-is this Kino?

Pic source?
I remember that it's out of a game/VN but I forgot its name

>>4781229
Whats sycra vid about that tut? Read it and didn't really get the advantage of the sliders over the color pick

>>4780442
It's in the name: stroke.
You should be stroking the canvas, not trying to scratch it or chip away at it. Smooth, fluid motions, as long as you can manage, that follow the forms.

>>4779833
hey how can I up my color game? still looks kinda flat? or western comics coloring style i guess?

>>4780440
dicks are so smelly
why do women and faggots love it?

>>4781906
you better hope they keep loving it, or you'll be a permavirgin....permanently!

>>4781229
You are missing a shade of red.

Forget about colour until you have value down. If you look at this in greyscale you can see how flat the values are.

You also have no consistent light source. Her boobs and face are lit from top left, her left arm and torso is lit from top right and the way you lit her hair makes it look like the back of her skull is glowing yellow.

>>4779833
The answers is light + shadows.

Also colour palette
IE using the palette from a picture of a raspberry blueberry ice cream cone for a person.

>>4781865
It’s not the colours it the lack of defined light and shadows.

They are much stronger in reality compared to your picture

color sphere fight, I vote for number two.

>>4784452
correct. there are 4 shades.

>>4781906
have you tried showing?

>>4779833
You have to reference real life. Look at the color and lighting of a real photo, understand why it's doing what it's doing and apply the color the same way in your art.

Pyw crab.

'pyw' is a crab mentality.
Not even that guy.
