I've been working on this for a while now and after getting the pose I wanted to work on what my colors are gonna be, but no matter what I pick it just doesn't convince me, what I'm looking for is any kind of advice or tip that might give me some direction instead of just changing colors aimlessly.

Thanks in advance ^^

Lil tip, turn the drawing in to grayscale, if the colors are far to similar its not gonna grab the eyes attention

#

That'll tell you there are some hues you'll have to change

#

Try experimenting with lighting to

#

Maybe im just biased, but try adding bright colors to spice things up...

Your colors are already good, i just added a purple and blue shadow and turned the saturation up... Maybe its not everyones style ( bright colors ) but adding shadows and lights does help alot. I'd recommend you watch videos on color thoery but overall you're doing great!!!

I think first, find 3 colours you like that look good together snd use them. That way there arent a million gazillion colours all over the place yknow.
Then, use one colour for maybe like 60% of everything, your second colour for like 30%, and the 10%.
Then, maybe get another colour or 2 for accents. But I think having too many colours like this convolutes the piece

Also, some common fashion rules are your belt should match your shoes. Id say make the gloves the same colour as the backpack, too. Just to bring it together
