@NoodleInBox Thanks so much, I've been feeling down because churning these out quickly usually leads to bad quality, so your words are really uplifting. If you're still stuck on what to study, I highly recommend a book called Peak by Anders Ericsson, that alone gave me huge breakthroughs in improving. As for color, I mostly do master studies then try to reverse engineer every color choice to figure out why their colors work so well. The most common recurring color theme I've come across are complimentary colors in everything, even low saturated on the same surface make things pop and still feel natural. For skin tones, subtle hue shifts and saturation shifts when combined with value transitions are golden. Your latest pieces are looking better and better, hope these tips help out. Glad to hear you might try out Paintober, that would motivate me as well to go make it through. Can't wait to see what's next, keep up the great progress, and thanks for stopping by.

Sorry in advance, there's going to be a lot of bad art since it's only day 2/33 of Paintober. And I'm toning down the complexity due to the time limits. The pose and anatomy feel off in this one, I hope it works compositionally at least. I also miss working on a piece over the period of weeks, I feel that's where my best results come from.
