i didnt use smudge, i block in the some of the colors from my color palette to do color mixing job. and with few main colors i can create vast amount of color variation just by painting over the color with another color with opacity pressure. Then i just pick from several new colors i just mixed, and painted a rough gradient with normal brush.

Color picker its good to help beginner to have a clue that what is the actual color they are looking at.
90% of the color i pick is without using color picker, only 10% that i have no clue that i need rely on it. But using exactly what u've picked is not right, becasue a realistic object has too many color variation that not one color could define. Color picker its only help u to have a clue for choosing several close colors to form what u see in the picture by yourself.
The color u choose dosent need to be super accurate at the beginning, its a digital painting, u can still cover up your mistake along the way, or can tweak the overall color later. But in this exercise for myself, i try to choose the color as close to the reference picture, to practice my eye to become more sensitive to color variation.
Like i said Realsitic object has many color variation on it. just zoom in some reference photo and check out yourself. A golden ball, its has at least 10 color variation depending on ts lighting condition. theres no gold color in your color pallete, how to make it look gold is by adding reflection,
because gold material reflect light.
Hope these answer your question.

What is the point? It's an exact replica of the original, traced and all. Not very artistic or original.

It's not really demonstrating one's ability to colour if they use the eyedrop tool to pick colours, then put them on a set of traced lines and smoosh them together using more eyedropping techniques.
Where is the skill in this? What exactly is being learned? It is not an exercise if no effort is applied.

hahaha, i do suggest beginners to use eye dropper for them to have a clue on how many color variation in a photo. but in this case, i did try my best to not rely on eye dropper. 90% of the chosen color are pick by my own eye. and yes, i do agree with u, by using eye dropper for the entire color selection without understanding & study are pointless. In fact, its a waste of time.

this is a coloring study, focus only on choosing the right color, not about original idea, also not about face figure practice. Tats y i have stated very clearly in the begining this is only a color practice and i just want to improve my coloring skill for now.

Right, right. I can see what you're saying, but a better way to approach this would be to look at different things and try to apply different light sources or lighting colours and apply what you've learned from other people or tutorials to them. Simply eyedropping from the original photograph won't help your colouring out at all if you don't put in some effort and challenge yourself.
If, for instance you went for the 'change of light' application, you'd challenge yourself in deciding which colours to choose and how to apply them. Learn and read up on colour theory, tutorials and give yourself an actual challenge.

awesome WIP shots. I was wondering... how do you choose your colors? I know everyone has a different method, but I am curious to know what yours is

for example, skin, i roughly choose several main color to match the reference, thats y i need a good reference, so i dont miss out tiny color variation in it. Sometime if i cant figure what color is that, i use eye dropper tool to help me to have a clue. : )
