Okay real feedback... hmm... uuuuuh stop being so AWeSOME!!! HEHE uh... color color... Oh boy i feel a novel comin on. (whoo opinions)

During my journey of improvement i have noticed something interesting about Dave Rapoza and Algenpfleger's approach to color early that has made me adopt some staunch beliefs. (Pulls up another tab)

^Take this deviation for example, algen himself was talking about trying to "not overlay the same three colors." as he is trying to get away from that "washed out overlay look"

^Same with this deviation and most of Daves work from before 2009. The values are okay but the colors are washed out and bleh bleh.

Now i've seen grayscale to color been done supremely well before obviously, cough cough

BUT! I think it's important to see the "correct" colors and temperatures of things to understand appropriately how they interact. *Ugh i hate giving crits but i know they can help >.>.

Anyways i think it'd be good to try and see the right colors in a practice every now and then, like that orange light comin in one onna those still lives is really kickin! because the value works obviously. I know you're not a painter and more a tonalist but CMON GIRL COLORS ARE AWESOMEEEMEE! just every now and then go straight color on something it will help a loooot! in the grand scheme of things i think :)
