Blue chick needs help...

[Corto]

And not only her, me as well...

It's my first "almost" finished ps made thingie (reference is here (http://www.domai.com/pics/big/leena_095b2.jpg) ) with a tablet and ... humm ... basically I don't know much about color.
So if there someone out there with an advice... I will be forever in debt.

looks pretty cool. Im not to fond of the background though

Interesting pic, but did you define your source of light? Seems to me you have shadows and highlights randomly.

[Corto]

Right you are guys!
I'll get on her case immediately.
Thanks for the replies.

So, I tried to fix it, I failed of course, and then I got the brilliant ideea of taking the ref and putting it on top of my drawing, whit some blending mode thingie... and I got the interesting colors and 2 big pathches of yellow lost in a sea of black.... and then I slowly started to bring the rest up... and got this.
question: Is that art, or I just painted over the picture?

maybe you should define your drawing before render it, it may help you finding your way :^^:

I try too ... But I guess that I'm such a beginner with color that I destroy the drawing really fast and I'm left with nothing.

ps. I know this should of gone someplace else, but I was thinking that if I can maybe learn how to do it, the hardheaded mule that I am, maybe someone else can do it as well.(brr... bad english, hope you get the point, though)

ps2. this the kindda thing I ussualy do:
