#greencherryart21

I completely understand your struggle! Currently I just set it to a color that I’m familiar with because I sort of know from experience, but before that, I’d just pick apart all of my favorite art from other artists and examine it. In what range do they color certain things? What happens with the color when it’s in shadow or when certain light falls onto it?

It might feel overwhelming now, but I’d always recommend watching any video about color theory with a document open so you can scribble and experiment along with it. At some point it will click, I promise you. I also think your best teacher is what catches your interests. You might learn realistic lighting (old, traditional paintings are good to study!), but maybe that’s not what you want to draw. And if you want to learn flat colors first to get you going, you can study Anime screenshots! They’re very consistent, so it might be a bit easier ^^
