2d art for character
hello, after making my 2d drawing i have left,right,front and back versions of it. Something about the colors does not sit right with me. (even though it is suppose to be the water varient of what i am making thus the blue) I guess what i am trying to say is how to get the colors more vibrant or cartoony or i cant explain the look i want just feels like it needs something before moving to the animating stage, advice on what it needs please.

Use other cool hues. Using just one color tends to make things boring.
Example from Zelda during N64:

Basically, learn to paint traditionally in Photoshop.
It's not the color it's the design that is the main problem.
The doesnt doesnt communicate 'character' at all? Is it a robot? is it a monster? is it vehicle? I can't get any read from your design.
Once you get the design, next you want to show some form and pattern and materials, etc.
Does that make sense?
Sorry I dont mean to sound harsh. But drawing and design is king. It's the first step. Take the time there and dont worry about color for now.
