So as you surely noticed every artist has his/her own style of drawing, own style of progression through the steps of an art piece.
I noticed I have grave problems making the sketch even a superb looking one into color.
So I went to a site called gnomon workshop.You may want to google them. You can learn lots of things.
But back on  track..I saw a dude called Feng Zhu 's tutorial thingys, but since I cant afford to buy them I was curious if he had some free lessons/tips on the tubes.
Turns out he does.And I watched and watched....and I kind of feel his flow of progression.

Now this doesn't mean that I intend to copy him or something, It merely means he gave me a way out of my creative black hole sort of speak.

I dunno if you willa ctually understand what im trying to say. I mean that you may do something along the lines of :
sketch- details-color - highlits- done....
So somwhere along those lines. Thats what I mean by style of progression through steps.
Now I seem to be doing far better on Feng's approach to this:
Sketch 1st draft---> lineart 2nd draft--->details 3rd and so on.

Hope it works out in the end
