Thank you guys, very very helpful explanations!
However, color has always been my biggest struggle.. I have 2 Gnomon DVDs about color and light and I understand the theory but when I start painting it's such a mess...
I will look up that book Elderscroller mentioned though!
I revived one old project today. I started this a year ago, for a present. However, the lack of skills made me leave it. Here's some old version, which took me probably a month or more..
And the new one I made today. I used a photo from which I took the composition and some colors because I loved the palette and I'm horrible at color.
However, the green on the jacket for example doesn't exist on the original photo so I was wondering if it's okay to add it?
If you guys have any comments/critiques I'd love to read them.
