you can practise more in character drawing.....to always see, remember the action character do, at the same time, in mine draw a draft of the character. The Color also, you use pencil to draw a BW artwork, and do the brightness and contrast with pencil. Finish, you will clearly see the Brightness and contrast at the artwork you draw just now, then draw a same artwork, and use the watercolor or poster color or alkelic color or oil poster to see the BW artwork and color it. So it will much easier that you directly color. And will also train your skill. Last, do it everyday..... i always do it like that...^^
