How would you rate my art for somebody who's got no formal training? (I'm also out of ideas, do you have any)

Thank you ~! I'd like to ask, how do you pick colors? Do you work with a fixed palette or do you pick as you go? Does your color planning happen before (in case of a fixed palette) or do you just start figuring out which looks best during the "blocking in" stage?

I'm curious because despite being super comfortable with my current skill level, I'd love to get into more artistic uses for color. I color in a very predictable/standard way since it's best for commissions, but would love to take it up some notches for more conceptual/painterly pics (if you don't mind NSFW, my gallery link is in my sig). Your color use is spot on, super inspiring and pleasant to look at!

Ahhh jeez, honestly I'm never quite sure how to answer that question haha
I still wanna give you the best possible answer I can though, so it might take a couple days to compile a good response/resources
Sorry in advance for the wait!!

(Can't access my wip paintings bc I'm on mobile, so I'll be using this as my personal example!)

Alright so when working on this piece, I started by deciding whether I wanted the base colors to lean towards warm or cold
(In this case, I've decided to go with cold colors)

After that, I chose a background color that's complementary of whatever I picked (For this piece, I picked a warm reddish background to compliment the slight greenish-blue color, which should be the focus)

(It's EXTREMELY important that you don't pick the absolute complimentary color though. Direct complementaries can cause eye strain, and sometimes ends up looking lazy. Shift the hue slider a bit to make the colors slightly more analogous in order to avoid this.)

After that, I took the background color and used it to block in the shadows.
(If it doesn't look quite right, I'll shift the hue slider around to see what works.)

Then I took the opposite color of the base and used it as my lighting color. (Warm base = cool light, cool base = warm light)

When all that's said and done, I pretty much just color pick my way through the rendering stage! This is the point where my process gets pretty messy, and I start winging it. I find it pretty helpful to embrace 'accidental colors' and just go with it. If my colors or values still look off by the time I'm done, I'll just make a color adjustment layer to finish it all off

(Extra color theory resources: 1, 2, 3, 4)

But yeah, usually I start with about 3-4 colors and wing it from there lol
Hope some of that helped, good luck!!

Oh my, thank you SO much for such an in-depth explanation! I understood everything, you're very good at teaching.
As soon as possible I'll do some studies, your technique is amazing and it brings a load of life into any character you draw. If I'm able to develop a technique half as good as yours, I'll be happy lol
Again, thank you very much for your time and lesson!
