Whoa, how can you render things so clearly and defined? Whenever I attempt to paint without a lineart, everything just ends up blurred, and most of the contrast is lost too ._.

if your values and contrasts work well, you dont need lineart. Β Real life doesnt have linearts either, but once something has a big contrast we can easily tell what it is, as soon as something is blurry it gets more difficult to seperate.
super random example
when we use lineart, the image will pop and each ting will stand by itself no matter how close the colors/values are
If you remove said lineart, the shapes now start to blend together because the colors and values are to close, but as shown on the two examples under, by making the contrast bigger, you can still create a lot of information. These blobs are only made by using two colors, yet the last forth example has a dimentional feel to it, some appear closer and some apear futher back even without the use of shading.
xD I guess the thing im trying to get at is that if you create a picture without the use of lineart, you will have to focus more on the contrasts and shapes, what to blur and what to keep in focus to make it just as readable :3

I try and try but everything looks SO artificial

I make on too light then have to go over it again

I absolutely love colors!! best way to use colors is to focus on them only and huge undefined shapes, instead of small details. That way you can find the main colors that work together first and then start reusing them all over : D

well my mom was a background painter for disney :I
so I've been being t aught this shit from BIRTH
but I can't seem to get that hang of it XDD

Being taught about color theory isnt enough, you have to practice and experiment with it uwu
like yellow is bright and happy, blue is calm and intelligent, red is wild and fierce. Use the emotions the colors portray to your advantage
Here's some examples:
Red, purple, green, orange, etc, all those colors could do very well for a scene that introduces the villain alone, or just something evil in general
Purple, blue, cyan, turqoise and dark greenish-blue are great colors for an underwater scene, if you want to portray something sad in this you could add a greyish tint to the character in the water or add blood!
