/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I used to paint a lot before I stopped drawing for a few years. When I started again, I avoided painting and worked on lineart with flat colours instead because it was a hatred of painting that made me stop drawing in the first place and I still never really got over that. I feel like I can get colours and values accurate if I spend a lot of time on a piece, but I would like to learn how to better get down the right colours from the start. It feels like my tools are actively working against me and I can't get my brushes to do what I want.

I would do what I've been doing and just practice by painting more, but I am not sure how to get past this hatred of it to make it feel like I am not forcing myself to paint whenever I try to practice. I'd appreciate any advice. I'll post my work in a bit.
