Soo, I finally have time to comment on the other color palettes ^^
I decided to again leave a sentence or two about every drawing, from the top left color to the bottem right one :3
#1: I think you did a good job at displaying the structure of the golden stone. I mean, the colors aren't really matching but I think this one was more about the contrast and imitating the roughness of it on paper and you ROCKed it! xD
#2: You did a good job a making it look transparent like the ref. The gem in the ref looks a little bit less round and has more sharply cut edges I think. It's still really cool :3
#3: You're so right, the orange fades so beatifully :0 It's so prettyyyy
#4: First of all, I love the motive! You also did a great job at coloring, it looks just like the reference ^^ The propertion is a little bit off, the top part of it looks a litle bit too small to me when I'm comparing it to the ref. But I can't stop looking at it, because the coloring is so accurate and I believe this must've been difficult :3
#5: They're amazing. Like really good. Can't realy say what to improve on tbh ^^
#6: You also did a great job at drawing these; I love how you simplyfied the flowers like that, I can still see pretty well that the flowers on the ref and the flowers you painted are the same, and there's still enough details in it. I don't really know, it's flawless and probably my favourite on this page ^^
#7: Again, a really accurate painting ^^ One thing to maybe improve on: Whereas in the other paintings I believe I tend to tell you to add more contrast, I think less contrast would come closer to the original photograph in this one. The fruit flesh isn't that much lighter from the outside if you look at it closely :3
#8: I really like how you also made the highlights on the gems kind of pop out in your pinting too ^^ And the color is pretty. I'm not sure if that's because the reference has a dark background or because the color is so light, but I believe this would look SO AMAZING if there was a dark background. Like, maybe you could repaint it someday and add a dark background, this would be so cool ^^
Hope I could help you a bit :3

you're so right, it's not nearly as pale as the original picture >< really irks me too :/ the texture is nice though ^^
sharp eyes you've got :3 i think you're right and i hadn't noticed yet at all 
one of my absolute favorite colors in the set 
really?
to me the outer red edge of the inner fruit part looks too red XD I wish I would have lifted of fmore color from that area
yes 
couldn't agree more >< not happy with this one either. you pinpointed precisely why that is 
it would!!! but then it would alter the perception of the color which is bad as it's a reference. I hate that I really shouldn't add a dark-green BG >< if it was any other pic I would have done so in a heartbeat!!! you make such suggestions

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aah well that's true, then I can imagine it can be more troublesome OwO" But I guess you'll have to take courage and just mix it with everything till you find what it works with
