You don't need another coloring assignment to apply what you've learned, silly emotion_kirakira
You can try it on your next art piece, you can recolor an old piece, or you can just sit down and try to copy my shiny blob thing. Any of those will help you learn to make your colors pop, as long as you're actively thinking about how to do it, with the reference right in front of you.

Which digital programs do you use? I use SAI PaintTool.

I use Paint tool sai too. I want assignments to learn more! Practice makes perfect! I understand the concept of the ball like what they teach you when you start out but when I apply it to the body I get confused. Most likely just need to study more >.<

Lol aw.
Well what you can do is observe the body and figure out where the shadows go mhm. It takes time but as long as you keep looking at the subtle changes in color and trying to imitate it on paper/digital canvas, you'll improve.
Your assignment is:

1 - draw a lineart or just get an old one you made
2 - identify from your favorite artists - who you want to color like?
3 - get at least 3 colored artworks from them
4 - use their coloring as a reference(and take notes) to color your own lineart

I'm sorry if you expected a different magical assignment from me... there's not a more efficient way to learn O v O And I will need a recent sample of your work(which will be this assignment) to critique. emotion_awesome

Side note:
One day
when you're in the mood to mentor again,
I'll be your pupil,
but for now,
I'll just be your fan...

Hmm. Oh! You're off to a very good start. * u * where exactly do you want to improve? I think you're doing the right thing to learn; you just need to keep doing it more.

Alright. * u * Do me a favor? Do this meme: influence map yes
Every great artist I know starts off by imitating/learning the styles of their favorite artists from a young age. For example my favorite artists like joodlez had many phases of imitating the styles of several cartoons like shin-chan and futurama and simpsons, and like.. 5 different magical girl animes or something LOL
Since you're just beginning, I feel the same would benefit you. But first we need to figure out which artists influence you the most.
if you were going for realism, you'd copy real things in your environment. Seeing the style you're going for is highly stylized however, I feel that realism would bore you out of your mind and carry your style in a direction you don't want lol. * u * this cool with you?

Hmmm... Sounds good! I do realism at school, mostly, but I suck at drawing humans... That's why I love chibi so much xp
Anywayz... Where should I look for examples? Could *you* be my favorite artist? hehe

And should I use the blocks as a grid or are they there for me to draw something else in each block?
