Liiiiilllllllyyyyyyyyy ~~!
Guess what? I'm seeing improvement in your edges already O_O! Well done!
Always so hardworking, aaaaaaaaaahh, gets me so pumped when I come in here!

Hey so, if you're not confident in colour, it'll come a lot easier to you if you understood values. Values are literally everything in a painting. This is why I think everyone should be _drawing_ a lot more than painting, especially when they start out.

There's this, that'll hopefully share insight some:

I was actually searching and searching for an example that an artist posted on Facebook a while back. One of our contemporary master oil painters like Jeremy Lipking or Coro posted 3 artworks side by side, one was just the values, so black and white, everything looked readable and fine. Second was the painting as is, with the values in it, looked great... but the third was a painting _without_ values at all - it looked like a mess.

I hope you get what I mean <3
And be bold with your learning and brushstrokes,

Anyways, I'll stop pestering ya haha

Keep up the great, hard work, Lilly! o/
