Difficulty aside - and trying to avoid the debate about the degree to which difficulty defines legitimate art - I don't really see the difference. They both have similar intent, and they both have similar outcomes.

I'm against gridding anyways. For educational purposes at least, its cheating. So pretty useless if you are trying to learn.
Making an illustration for a client under time restrictions it is a time saver though.

I understand the need to train your eye. I'm also not retarded. I know people who paint mix colors to get the correct values. I was really referring to drawing (as I don't paint). The amount of colored pencils out there is insane. Obviously it needs to be that way, though.
The point I was making, is that cherry picking colors isn't going to make you a good artist. We all know more goes into than that. I just don't see why you should feel bad by doing it.

You most likely mean it in a different context, but you do realize that most old master work was composed using grids and other mathematic/compositional tools right?
I'm really hating how much more saturated everything is becoming after I transfer it over from my tablet. Anyone have any suggestions on how I might deal with this?

Wait, transferring from your tablet? o_O
In any case, I know photoshop has a selection of pre-determined swatches to choose from - I don't just mean the default swatches, look in the menu for the other colour selections, things like the Pantone* colours. You can use these presets to check what a particular colour looks like on one screen, then use the same setting on whatever it is that you're drawing on.
*These are also notable for not using the typical method of mixing CMYK inks to get the desired colour, but instead are sold premixed, so you can be certain what colour will come out, no matter which printer you are using. You probably don't need to know this though...

Yeah I was fortunate enough to go 50/50 on a Wacom Cintiq12WX for my birthday, and everything I do on it looks so much better (color-wise) than my regular monitor. But, that's a good idea with the checking back and forth between screens before I start. Maybe I'll even just start using my tablet for inking and then switch back to the monitor for the coloring.
I also checked help/advice it was suggested to someone with a similar problem that they get a Pantone HueyPro, so maybe I'll do that as well. It'll hopefully get both my screens on the same page.

thanks
I am trying to incorporate a little more dynamism
wakk, are you sure it's not just the third one? The Muslim lady grocery shopping? You see a lot headdresses in Medieval period art that frame the face in a similar way to a hijab.

Didn't a number of renaissance artists use suspended wire grids as well?
Jazzman: I'm sorry I can't offer any helpful critique. That's really cool!
Most artist's back then used grids like that. But still, seems harder to do than applying a grid to a photo to transfer it.
Wass, thanks! I believe its because she just looks so damn tired.
I really hate how all the physical media stuff I do looks 10 times worse when I scan it in.
