Applying Color Theory, but the Color Composition still looks Bad
I’m very new to digital art I’ve never before used backgrounds my compositions. In order to have a subject stand out and look good in front of a background I’ve been referencing the color wheel and combinations on it. (I’m using a tetradic color combination in this piece).
In this piece the figure stands out against the brick red background pretty well, but it still looks like a super ugly color composition which is really frustrating. What I can do to make this composition look more visually appealing/interesting?
