Hey guys, my coloring is really bad, and I needed some advice/critque.
I quick doodled a little Francis to showcase it :3
Also, please ignore the anatomy...I know it's frightful, I just wanted to show the coloring so I wasn't focused on shape.

Hmmm, this is pretty good.
As for crits... I think you should try lowering the opacity/alpha on your colours a bit to make them blend a bit better. Also, with areas like the mouth, add more transitional colours so it doesn't look like there's a dark line just sitting there.
I do like your choice in colours, though. |

Very distinct. It actually seems like it would belong in a museum.
Lips are normally orange, but it doesn't stand out too much to take away from it. |

Abstract: Thanks. I usually work with about 50% oppacity, do you think bringing it to 30% would help fix it up a bit?

Yeah, 30% would probably be good. 50 is a little high, imo, unless your colours are really similar. |

Awesome. That's all I have to say since I kinda suck at coloring that kind of stuff. |

I agree with everyone else that it looks great, although, in my opinion, he looks a little too... 'shiny'. I would suggest trying not to have the difference between light and dark a little less obvious.
Although I'm no artist, so I have no idea how to achieve this, lol. |

Lowering my oppacity, and not using so much color dodge would probably do it. |

Hey, that's pretty nice! I'm not exactly used to seeing his lips as anything other than orange, but it's good! |

Lots of what I think has been said. I shade with 10% opacity, but I don't know if that you're style.
One thing I would says is don't highlight with the super saturated colours, it makes things a little hard to look at. >: |
