Hi, welcome, you did great, don't worry abour color blidness, painting is mostely about values. Take a look at LiXin Yin artworks, he is also colorblind. Now to the Knight study, I did the overpaint where I put more emphasis on precision in capruting shapes of light and shadow, as well as I try to stay true to overall value setup of the metal, but changed colors to my liking. Also used background colors and values to build more contrast. While painting take into consideration soft edges and gradient transitions too. Keep up the good work!
