Colouring my graphic novel

I have been focused on digitally painting my graphic novel. Using the story board images as a base i made some improvements and some changes to the images in which then i coloured. The colour theme i went for was a dark black and green style as i wanted to show that the character is in thick woodland and that not a lot of light can break though the trees. But to be enough light to see the character, what i did was make the first panel light as if it was then beginning to be sun set allowing medium light to peer through but its darker than it was during the way. Also i thought that i could then use this to show change in time as in later panels you could see the sky clearer and i could show that the sun is almost set.

this is my first panel in which i am showing the sun setting but its still a lot of light coming into the scene.
