Those early stages usually look naff, and it can really throw your confidence! Keep pushing and assume it will be rubbish! Then it'll be a nice surprise when there are nice parts in it!
One thing that helped me with traditional stuff is to think in warm and cool rather than hue. So if you have your green mixed, and are painting some green next to it, think about if you want it warmer or cooler and adjust the mix accordingly. Not sure if you can glaze with acrylics but dark and shadow can be done by glazing with blue. Good luck! I look forward to seeing more!
