Ok, no problem, thanks for accept it.
I keep I still marvel at the way it blends the colors, can you give me some advices?

Sure. You can see the technique of how I paint explained here. [link]
I use a program called paint tool SAI. The colors I do from imagination
and sometimes a reference of an artwork or photo with colors I like. I
paint all my stuff on separate layers so I can use the hue/saturation button to find
a color that works well with it. So if I want orange I fill in an orange color that I think
will work. If it doesn't I adjust it with hue/saturation until it does. AT the end I add in
an overlay layer and start painting with a light purple shadow or blue. And I use a warm yellow for the highlights also on an overlay layer. I usually adjust the colors slightly in photoshop using the color balance option and sometimes brightness/contrast.
is really good with colors - [link]
She has lots of handy stuff as well. You can also see my tutorial favourites. I have learned a lot from them. Hope this helps.

Wow nice tutorial.
The part that strikes me is that you have a good eye for mixing colors, and the way you put the lights and shadows intrigue me, I guess this part can not teach you any software XD;
Did you take classes, or you are professional photographer?

Oh thank you so much for the huge compliment. 
I'm self-taught. I draw and take photo's as a hobby.
I learned through experimentation and tutorials. And of course
a lot of practice.

Volgens mij houd jij van herfst-kleuren ^^
Die zie ik het meeste in jou hele gallery.

Ja ik weet niet wat dat is, maar ik ben echt DOL op die kleuren (misschien komt dat ook omdat ik gek ben op de herfst). Ik ben sowieso dol op kleuren. Ik wil ook meer blauw en groen combinaties doen, want dat zijn mijn lievelingskleuren.

I really like the background. It's got a watercolour type look to it and the trees and hills look kind of plushie like the fox.
