"How do I get better at coloring."

You need to be focused on getting better at drawing. Specifically people.

* Heads dont tilt that far back

* Arms if one are on his/her tippy toes their hands wont reach the floor unless they are extremely flexible and at that point drawing it like that won't create the "all fours affect" you wanted to go for.

* The skirt wouldn't just fall down her waist like that

* The rendering is smudged and it's impossible to tell where the light is coming from.

* There is alot which goes into the "anime" head/face and making it look cute, learn how to draw heads and learn how to draw them flatteringly.

Learn how proportions work. Learn how far limbs can move. Learn the basics of light and shadow. Then and only then will you have the right to ask about color.

Hate when people do this. Ask for help with one issue and they point out 10 other problems without adressing the one you actually asked about. /ic/fags are truly something.

You're right about the neck but I can do that... granted I had to lose some fat and train moves like that before I could comfortably reach the floor. But I wouldn't call it unusually flexible. I'm not some young athlete. I see life drawing models do similar things.
Her spine isn't going to be arching backwards though. That's not a natural pose. That's like someone reaching towards the ground but trying not to touch it.

I think op has ok coloring. I read this book before but it didnt really teach anything about brush strokes
>>
>>7885374
Your coloring is not that bad, just needs more refinement. Your real issues are bad fundamentals. Study more form and anatomy and your art will improve a lot.

HOLY FUCK are you one of those mentally deficient retards who literally need to have someone hold their hands and show them how to manually get from point A to B with even the simplest
Newsflash, your IQ is in the <80 range YOU'RE NOT SUPOSSED TO PURSUE SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES CRITICAL THINKING AND INTELLIGENCE
This isn't fuckin construction you stupid windowlicking nigger, we're not placing screws or installing drywall, we're exercising our imagination and fighting with the emergency of a given medium

Post your work. Anybody criticizing me needs to post their work.

Surprisingly, the hands and feet are okay. I'd recommend improving your drawing first; the drawing itself is more important. But when it comes to shading, you're using too many values. Try using only two or three tones for shadows, and use the halfway to black method. Values are what matters most in a drawing; color and saturation are just finishing touches.
Overall, you're missing some fundamentals like values, shapes, and edges. I won't even mention the face because it's completely wrong. Try to learn something about construction.

forget about colors, you have bigger problems right now. You dont have the right to engage with coloring yet.

>Values >>>> color

two things i've heard really help by some of the older artists:

first thing is to find a color palette you like and copy that. This is basically the color equivalent to copying elements of someone else's art style, but I've seen it work very well. Just to give an example, egoraptor supposedly heavily borrowed from maplestory for his color palette

the second thing I was told was to try out different challenges. stuff like using a heavily limited color palette, using several shades of the same color, etc. This can help you think more creatively about it

the last thing i'd probably recommend is to have a very good understanding of color theory, especially complimentary colors

>>7885374
Everything about this is terrible, but the face is exceptionally unappealing. Forget coloring and learn how to draw first.
>>
>>7889003
I thought OP intentionally drew the face creepy like that
