chinese artists colors in general are just very desaturated with occasional saturated highlights for that vibrant look.

Also, I assume most of them paint in LAB mode.
I just tried it out for the first time. (pic related)
I never had so few trouble picking and mixing colors.

Alsp pirc related. How do I properly render human body parts.
I know that you should always paint with the form. but that would require to clean up the edges later again as you'd have to paint over the edges everytime for the gradient effect.

Ehh I dunno if that makes sense.
If I paint alongside the form I have an easier time managing color/value fall offs for that 3D effect. But it looks even less 3D because of the brush directions.

Somhow I managed with the head but look at the arms and legs. They look really weird to me. What could I do to improve on that? How do other artists do it that go for that painterly look?
