Awesome post !! Please share your tips on colours next time !! Look forward to reading it =D
Sometimes I paint with greyscale and sometimes I go directly with colours. Im amazed by the result of greyscale to colours but sometimes its so hard to carry on painting in black and white. Thats one dilemma I face each time I wanna start a painting.
I do have many of these in my blog, please take a look =)
I even have one that is about using gradient maps... here you can find it:
