If you wanna practice color, which i actually dont reccomend at this point, value is more important and drawing is more important than that; Take a painting or photo then use the eye dropper tool, find 10 random colors in it and place them on a seperate document. Then close the document, come back in a few minutes and try to find the colors you had picked and place them next to the colors you picked. Try to get it as close as you can or less than 5 RGB difference.
You'll learn more doing that than trying to paint with knowledge that isnt refined. I'd also reccomend older paintings using more simplistic palletes like zorn or Peter Paul Rubens, as you can see a lot of color variation with a limited amount of tubes.
But you'll learn most just perfecting your drawing first, which I'd love to see a self portrait in just line to see why you place some features off. But(t) if you keep it up, you will be very good in some amount of time so keep going!
