Notes for self ref by Insomnibutt
Edge: Having sharp edges prevents the entire piece from becoming blurry. Figure out where the shadows will be harshest
Color: Using darker shades of the base color looks muddy/lazy. Do your research and use different colors
Value: Without a variety of values, the piece will look monotonous/flat. Plan out your darks and lights to prevent this.

man, i always forget edge and i never realize how much of a difference it makes. color is hard for me too because i'm too conservative and afraid of it.

I feel ya, I usually lose track of my values n have to spend most the time correcting them

*EDIT* With everything I mentioned above, I wanna add that you shouldn't underestimate the use of black. Of course, if you use ONLY black to shade things it'll look a bit melancholy, but a little can go a long way to refine shapes
