I think i might be decent skilled when it comes to draw with black n white shades. I'm not colorblind or else, but when i try to color my drawings, this happens.. It's just frustating, do you guys suffered the same at the beginning of your color journey ? Or is it that i'm just not meant to coloring ? I see a lot of people doing it naturally, especially womens, and i just can't improve :/

First question I would ask is have you ever tried doing color charts to get to know what kind of shit you can output with the colors you have?
You need to be able to mix the colors you have in small increments to achieve at least a few intermediate steps. Then if you are painting from a reference be it life or photo, your task basically to find which swatch on your color chart is closest to area on the reference source...
If you are not working from reference, then you can prepare a certain limited area of your charts and use only those colors to represent everything.
For OP picture - you used colors that are sort of complementary and that is good. It is not good to use them in same chrome (don't make both orange and blue too strong, make one of them dominate and mix that one in the other to neutralize it a bit....)

Are you using markers?
I started colors with markers, and all my shit was always over saturated. Actually, it's still over saturated. I've been trying to color more drawings lately and use color palettes that I find appealing, but it's been a long road. I haven't found a fast way to practice colors to get a lot of mileage under my belt.
I'm all ears if you figure it out OP
Op here, thanks a lot all of you. I'll check out the color thread, just being a newbie here. And no i don't use reference and i used inks. Thanks for the color domination over one another advice, its makes a lot f sense :), i'll remember that
