@MaggieSue327 Aw cheers! I'd recommend experimenting with not only shifting the hue of the colour you're shading with, but also the saturation! I used to only shift the hue which lead to my art looking washed out but increasing the saturation really makes it pop! There are also loads of ways to shade so it can help to try out stuff like crosshatching and such! Also, there's no shame in using a reference, especially for weird materials that reflet light weird :]
@MaggieSue327 Oh and I know it's a bit difficult on colours live but putting your art into greyscale can be helpful for colouring! It helps you judge the value of all the colour you've used which makes it easier to see where your art needs more or less definition! Also it's generally useful to research artistic language such as tone, texture, hue, value and saturation, etc... My art gcse course prompted me to study the language and it really helps you judge the quality of your own work! :)
i'm mostly a water color artist so digital art is kinda hard for me, but i'm try to improve so i can try more stuff <-- if that makes sense, i'm not really great with words
thanks, just like all the other forms of art it takes time -'v'- in my opinion, digital art takes more patience, bc it takes around 5 hours to finish a painting, vs water color that seemingly takes 2 hrs
@MaggieSue327 Ah yeah it does kinda vary lol. I don't use watercolour often but when I do, I usually spend 10+ hours on one piece lol so personally digital art is quicker for me :)
@MaggieSue327 Yeah sometimes it's experience and sometimes it depends on the style or the medium or the scale of the work :) I tend to work on very small canvases when I work with watercolour but I also often opt for photorealism so that's the biggest reason why I take so long lol

oh my-- lol
perhaps time spent boils down to experience, the more you practice it, the quicker you get
