It's not just the colors you have to think about but the direction of the strokes. In the case of this drawing, the pencil strokes are curving downward to the right and it makes the wolves feel like they are falling.
I use a mixture of mediums. I've been playing around with photoshop colors lately but watercolor is also a fun medium to use. The NUMBER ONE thing to know when coloring is to NOT object paint. This means, if your wolf is yellow, don't use only yellow to paint it. Throw in several different shades of yellows, greens, purples, blues, greys, so that optically it still reads as a yellow object but it has more interest to it. I hope that makes sense.
