(a) Work big to small. Block everything in already (like his legs and whatever background you have in mind) using large, very general areas of color. This will help you figure out how the whole picture "works" and prevent you from getting too obsessed with the finer details (like the head) too early in the process.
(b) Don't be afraid to use a hard edged brush for that face.
It looks like it's moving along really well. Good luck and have fun!
Im trying something a little different this time around and I am a little nervous about it. I'm very used to doing things with some form of line art. This is a little out of the box for me.
The advice is great Gith! I had kind of hit a road block and I think you nailed why. Thanks for the help!
I really like your rendition of Darth Plagueis a lot. It seems to have a naturally sith-like quality about it. I did a Darth Plagueis drawing, too. I took a lot of liberties since getting credible info on the dark lord is like pulling teeth. The links below.

Drig,
Very nice!
