Hey Shin! Great to see your update, glad you are still at it ^^ looks like that anatomy / gesture practice is paying off, some nice poses on those characters and proportions / anatomy starting to look really convincing. Keep at it ^^
I am rubbish at colouring too, and started following Sycra's method from this video:

It gives a really good simple technique for getting colours that work together based on picking a starting colour.
and he talks about making a split-complement colour palette in this one:

I think the lips look off in your SP because you haven't got the planes / construction good around the mouth / muzzle area (there should be darker value under the bottom lip probably, and the connection between lips and nose is a bit unclear). Do some studies of the planes and structure of how the lips / mouth fit together and wrap around the teeth and get more familiar with how that works and your next one will be more solid ^^ great progress though : )
Merry Christmas! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff ^^
