Just made this, took me an hour, it was a lineart that i used without the background so i colored the back as well.

In the V1 i used 1 gradient idk but for me it looks better

V1


V2


So i need you opinion, when you look at somebodies colorings do you think about where the shades should be or even the shapes of the shades , then highlights ? , cause i just cant explain to some people that not all people color in the same way.

So do you ??'​

NarutoGoku was right. Light source on a person really brings out the picture. Without it the picture looks flat and dull. It took me a while to learn it but it really makes the picture stand out

Also the picture will look more realistic than say if you were to apply shadows which condradict over shadows.

P.s why do you persist on adding filters on top of your work without no meaning to it, sorry but I don't like when you do it.(v.1)

Also colour it to the line so there is not white dots in the lines, just try make it neat.

But the rest I like, you did good in the time you said :D

I like your coloring, except for the mouth. Moreover, you really have problem with the lineart. (I like V2).

Version 2 is better BUT!
work on the lineart a bit, cus you can see some white dots really close to the line,
on the right hand side where his hair ends the background isn't colored properly,
by the ear there is white patch which suppose to be hair,
where the red patch thing is on the shoulder there is some red on the jumper,
and there is some blue near the mask on the green thing, same under the shoulder.

apart from those points above the colors are great and matched together,
and if you work on your style a bit you wont even need to use lineart cus it looks so realistic :D keep up the good work.

i agree whit all the people here the Lightsources and shading position are something that you must learn if you want to make great works , it doesn´t have to be 100% realistic but it have to make some sense , its like you can´t put the Lightsource and shadows in the same side and all that stuff, i like how you did the shadows and Lights in this BUT the lines more work too if you put them better the work looks 100% better XD hope it helps

The position of the shade does not change. You can be creative with the shape, and do whatever with the color.
