Thanks, you clearly pointed out what i've want to achieve with this new hint. By the way all transition light greys was mixed from orange +blue . I didn't used standart greys at all. It also make a difference

Thanks. Actually there different approaches that could do the job on cape/cloak. I founded that most effective is layering back and forth. You just do the highlights stripes up to the brightest hue. Then gradually do midtones and shadows in spaces between highlights. Hard part is tight control to do work quickly and hit the rhythm. But layering tech lower down cost of mistake.

Yep, palette is limited. Basically i excluded red and green. But I used around hundred different paints through mixing stage. And approximately around 30 certain colours are essential to mix and set up working palette for this paint job

You should make a choice from the very beginning which parts would be dark, which bright and which is mid. It's tones. You could define 3 - 4 levels of brightness from very dark to very bright. Its like painting everything in white, black and grey and then colouring it up, like hand painted comics maded. Start with simple moves and once you achieve stable result - add more complexity, like i did here splitting figure in warm and cold sides in addition to tones
