Colour wise, working over the inked drawing I would tend to lay a tonal wash (either warm or cool to set a colour cast - dependent on the piece)then do an underpainting using raw umber, to render some form. The I would start laying in larger shadow areas, using blues or whatever colour suited the colour cast.
Generally - Prussin Blue, Winsor Blue, Cobalt Blue, Sap Green, Winsor Yellow (or golden Yellow), Alizarin Crimson, Scarlet, Winsor Violet - were the staple diet for most of these - with the occasional spot colour like Turquoise, Rose Red etc to lift items now and again. Entirely up to you according to what you feel is right for the individual piece.
Hope that answers what you asked.
I'm all digital now - shame on me.
Best wishes,
Nick
Consider me a fan ^_^
Getting used to DA and the comment system (and moreso if you're a pro) needs some time. I thank you for replying, most artist simply don't have that politeness.
Oh, and calling me J or Javier is fine, the nickname is quite too long (but still like it, so haven't thought about chaning it).
I actually prefer Javier over my first name Adelbert. It's just too long
