I’ve also put together a version with more shadow values in this one, just in case you’d like to see where the shadows from the simpler example actually originate. And what shadows is to weak or to strong to be in a graphic's shadow version.

Unicorn Gundam - Painting only test

First post here; Tried my hand at painting the Unicorn gundam straight up without the sketching process, I was trying to test my abilities to see if I can paint stuff right off the bat; I liked the output, it was really fun figuring this out, but I feel like the rendering here is quite off eg; the golden head fins are much more saturated than the rest of the body. Any tips would help a lot!
