BUMP!
I need help with color and shading, anyone willing to share some of his skills and knowledge with me will be very appreciated.
Critique is welcome too.

-Don't use black to shade a colored part
-You may want to use a bit of color variation to shade or to light... like, use yellow to light green, use red to shade the orange..
-Use low opacity (50% and less)
-Use Ctrl to take the color that the mix of the light and dark produced
-Also, don't use very little brushes except if you want to put a specific texture to your drawing

for a better explanation, you might want to check Shiik's tutorial and TDR's tutorial

thnx mate,
Almost done with this one

Not a half bad attempt there, the character could use some more defining, particularly the arms/legs - muscles or folds etc.

But the lighting ambiance whilst nothing "special" is more than adequate (imo) - Good job man, keep it up, your getting there

Appreciate the comment, and i know i should add more details to my characters but this was more about the color/lighting.

Dragon of the Night.

everything looks rough and compositionless, like some random scratches without any idea about reason and some structure of image.

 

[mato2]

So how should i improve that?

Draw over your sketch, this way we won't see all the little lines. Also, use stronger color to shade and to put light. For now the dragon looks almost flat.

And the most important you should do i think is use more color variation.
You could put bones on the wings and use a different color for the neck and stomach.
Just another example of a simple thing you could do to add color, you could put a glow around the bright teal eye.

Big image

the image is just there to give you an example of what I mean.
