yeah i imagined as much but i would more thinking of maybe common mistakes people make. like i see a lot of artists who are good at rendering dont have drastic light to dark contrast, seems to be very gradual value changes. i think im going to try that next

Think of it in layers. You have a base layer, and then you just build upon it. It takes some to get a handle on it but...keep at it. Its not that hard

common mistakes are people using the wrong tones usually, and the wrong colors. it's worth doing little sketches or color swatches of some pictures you like to see what the actual colors are, it's generally quite surprising until you get your eye in.

if you're doing it digitally i highly recommend instead of color picking you try to match the colors yourself by mixing or sliders or whatever you prefer. and use paintings not photographs

Form, hue, value, texture, temperature.

Study the oil painters. They will show you how. There are TONS of Youtube videos on it. hundreds, if not thousands of books on it. It's not a simple, "do this one thing, git gud", it's a process, a headspace, knowledge, and experience.

The key is careful attention to half-tones and light-falloff
