Haha thanks! Yea, studying the colour theory does help but it's still difficult to colour because
1) fur colour and how it interacts with the light/shadow
2) fur texturing, the shadows of how the fur is fluffy etc.
3) the body shadow itself
I always have trouble doing the main shadows .-. It's what make's things more realistic but yeah colour theory makes the painting pop out more. I'm still learning but the colours I've used the most is orange and purple combos, a bad habit .-.
Thanks a bunch for the lovely comments!
