"how do you decide what colors to be used?"

Killer question...
If you do traditional painting, you will know the answer to this question. For painting, you mix your own colors, some may apply the colors raw, but most prefer to mix their own color. It's the same with computer digital art. If you feel like your content fits the cool theme, you choose cool colors to start with. If you feel it fits the warm, start with the warm.

In this case, I wanted to make warm lighting because it makes a person feel more lively. And brown is Jeremy's designed color theme in 2Masters, so I used it.
For choosing colors you can choose harmony or contrast. Usually starting with harmony and end with contrast leads to a good picture in most cases.

Western style oil painters tend to only use one spot for focal point to start off the composition, with this piece, the focal point was where the highest contrast is. Which should be his hair and eyes. The hair direct alot of the visual movments, so it's critical for the hair to have enough contrast to carry the whole piece.

It's still lots of years of study, understanding the materials and pay attention to how things are done. Those memories embedded in the brain will make complex works seem effordless, but it's earned with alot of efford.

:applaud: Yes isn't painting in Photoshop FUN <D. It's always great to see the progess of an artists work and this is a good example. I like that there is a realistic approach to anime, I have been doing that myself lately and yours looks just as good. I thought it was a good trick that you flipped your work to find any problems, I have to do that more often with my own work.
