criticism/advice needed on coloring

[fallow talon]

I've avoided colouring my art for a while now, but I think it's time to change. Here's my attempt at colouring an old piece of mine. I followed Marc Brunet's anime cel-shading tutorial for this one, which might have resulted in a little too many layers. Are the colours alright? Are they fighting for attention? Did I overuse the air brush? Tutorial recommendations are appreciated as well; I'd like to try different processes. Thanks.

i honestly think it looks good if you are really worried about it maybe try experimenting more with new colors?

Hellooo!!!

Ooh i love colours lemme just moosey in on here.

The colours are alright. However it depends on the style. right now what seems to be lacking is your use in colour for shadows, but if youre looking for a general style then this is alright

i hope its ok but i decided to play around with some colour-balance adjustment curves for the desired affect and i landed on this rather quickly.

Woah

And all I need to do is play with the color -balance?

I'll give it a try thank you soo much

[leaden bison]

yeah!

all you have to do is use a curve that looks like this

this is using colour adjustment curves and colour balance.

its gen erally how artists cheat the system and make vibrant paintings fast.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of colored lineart! That might be worth giving a shot. I'm especially a fan of darker reds/browns!
