I loooooove the colours in this. There's tricks to getting red/purple right, I think. Which usually involves staying away from very blue-based purples and sticking with violets and mauves, and staying away from too many orange-based reds and sticking with blue-based reds.

Raaaavens are fun to draw.

Blue-based reds fall in the alizarin family. And orange/yellow based reds fall in the vermillion family.

Alizarin is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alizarin_crimson_%28color%29

But if you scroll down, you can see some of the other reds as well.

It's also true of blues (cool and warm blue), yellows, and blacks (red-based black, green or blue and so on). What can make disparate colours compatible is sometimes the root colours behind a specific shade.

Thank you! That actually clarifies a great deal for me about what colours I like vs. which I shades I don't particularly care for.
