The Hidden Door Chat Thread

I don't like my avvy pic. :L doesn't look like him to me. I'm working on another. Better. Much better. But so many feathers. Almost finished the line art. But I likely won't bedrawingn tomorrow.

I'm trying to fix my coloring problems before dealing with facial expression. I have difficulty with both, and feel like I'm getting no where trying to work on both.

Any suggestions for how to color? Maybe there's a tutorial out there somewhere... I should probably waste a day learning, just so I can promptly forget.
I need help with coloring too, since this is my current style:

Ooo but look at the edge lighting! and the overlay on the saddle feathers. I have a hard time making the picture lighter. Or doing shading at all. It looks like someone painted them with mud on mine. I think I mostly have to find a couple of light colors to use as lighting instead of doing shading. We'll see.

I’m glad you noticed the edge lighting. It’s not realistic, but I like to add off-white to the part of the body that the light is hitting because it really adds to the picture.
