I feel the need to state that the values are very bad in that one, it's just the process that is correct.

>>3768743
Because of how light works in real life, only using the value sliders will make your painting look lifeless and "digital", you have to use different colors to highlight and expand your palette, example here with the 5th pic compared to the last.

You might need to work more on technique before you worry about brushes. Try using darker colours for the shadows in order to create more contrast, the shading on the horns in particular looks too similar to the base colour so it kind of blurs together.
It also looks like you just drag the colour picker straight down when choosing colours for the shadows, making the picture look quite muddy. I'm assuming you're using something like a colour wheel on the software you're using, so try moving the hue towards warmer or cooler colours depending on what you want the mood of the picture to be. You probably don't want to overdo it if you want the picture to be more muted.
TL;DR: for shadows use darker colours that aren't just base colour + black.
I'll drop the one colouring tutorial I have too, might give you some inspiration.

Nice colouring style, I like how you draw and render the hair. Maybe the eyes would be cuter if you made the eyelashes thicker, and less angular at the top?

I hope you're still here, but I want to ask a question. What exact layer mode does he use in Step 3? The translation is very vague and unsure. I'll post the original Chinese version too on the next pose, since you can probably read them. Can you also confirm the overall accuracy of the translation?

>>3210307
yeah i'll post what i have

No, but have something for coloring.

Krenz has a zip full of studies he has done here http://cushart.deviantart.com/art/study-by-Krenz-417688926?q=in%3Ascraps%20sort%3Atime%20gallery%3ACushart&qo=0 so look through that and you can get an idea of what he practices
Drill the fuck out of turning boxes in space like this https://youtu.be/mk84EpHmZKQ Krenz has a great sense of intuitive perspective, similar to Kiim Jung Gi. Focus on getting a very fish eye look.
Read Scott Robertson how to draw, this will show you how to put objects inside the boxes that you got good at rotating through space. Krenz doesn't do as much measuring and making things perfect as Robertson but he uses the same principals. Read the dynamic bible by Peter Han, it will show you how to do looser more organic forms.
Do anatomy studies, these rely on the previous two things I mentioned. The study pack has a bunch of studies by Krenz so make sure to study it all. Hampton would be good to study to get nearer Krenz's style.
Do photostudies and master studies, Krenz studies impressionist stuff for colour, Alphonse Mucha studies for shape design and Frazzetta studies for chiaroscuro (breaking the picture down down to two values). To paint like krenz keep you values high key and low contrast, saturation low and get tons of hue variation, heres a tutorial on Krenz's process( he probably doesn't use it exactly the same way all the time)
Also do lot's of hair/ drapery studies, I'll post some of Krenz's tutorials on the subject.
