Trying too hard can cause you to over focus on details, and miss the general look.
Have you tried blocking out colours before you shade, like this? I mostly do it for the undersketch for paintings, but can help as a starting point too.

Bracelets, 1 of the, uh, pins (brain does not remember if that's the word I'm looking for), and the tattoo which I want to talk about but spoilers.

I already knew I'd need to do that, but still worth it.
Not that he's VERY covered on this cover. 😂😂

Other than that, I went to redraw a screenshot from Heaven Official's Blessing as a warmup, but "draw" became "paint". I gave up on it at this stage because I think I'm getting sick again. Maybe I'll continue another day.

I'm here to make a guest appearance. :P
I needed a break from my reading binge, so I've been drawing Ansy a bit.
Hour by hour WIPs to brighten your Christmas Day, I suppose?

Mini saw the eyes I was drawing before Mum Duty & wanted me to draw theirs too, so I did, & then added mine to compare. I also have added simplified shapes for future reference.

I already take care when designing characters so they have variations in shape, colour, depth, placement, etc, but every once in a while I sit down to draw different shapes from different angles,
expressions and colours.

Image 1: he wears a floor-length robe and usually his hair down at his "home" Temple (Eastriver Temple). While travelling he wears a cloak.
Image 2: That's what's beneath the cloak and that probably looks a bit familiar.
