Well, now that the grayscale is done I can’t figure out how to color it properly

Hello again! I come back with looking for advice on going from grayscale to color. I use procreate and have tried different layer modes such as color and overlay but they all come out muddy or wash out the contrast as seen in image two.

I’ve also tried to do gradient maps but I have the same issues of it washing out the contrast and values.

Am I doing something wrong?? Any help is appreciated thank you!

Since the old drawing was a WIP, I thought it’d only be fair to show a recent WIP to compare. First (November 2025) recent (October 2026)

Saw someone else do it and I thought I would too, what does this say about me?

What style of top is this? And where can I find something like it other than SHEIN?

I tried to keep it as realistic as possible with some exceptions, hopefully ya’ll enjoy! Feel free to ask me anything about my choices

I did a sprite ranking but I felt I could’ve gone into more depth, so here’s my favorite (left) and least favorite (right) sprites explained.

You can tell I got tired at the end lmao. But feel free to ask any questions! I’ll answer
