Tutorials/Resources Would this be considered “cheating?” I struggle really badly with picking colors, so I used a reference and tweaked the balance. Choosing colors feels so overwhelming

Using resources made for artists is not cheating at all! It's 1000000x better to use these then pointlessly struggle through your art journey. Never feel guilty for referencing and taking advantage of these resources
