Thanks so much for the advice I used dark purple for the shading and pale yellow for the light but I can never get it to look right so I'm going to try messing around with different colours to see what fits best !!
Ah, then maybe try different tools to shade with? It seems like you're using blur/airbrush heavily. It's fine in some circumstances but not for everything. Do you learn better by reading or watching videos? I'll see if I can grab you a few resources to help improve shading.
Awesome! I am very tired today, long day. But I will take a peek sometime this week and see what I can find. I can grab one I watched recently and liked, though! It's an exercise I've done myself multiple times and it def is good practice and teaches you a lot about not only values (shading,) but also how to construct a good piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTYGWfiZnMA&list=WL&index=2&t=105s I think I might have originally supplemented it with another video, that suggested the exercise. You pick a photo to copy, and then paint it in just black and white. I have serval of those and you learn to think about things in a very interesting way. It's helped me a lot!
