You should try and 'flesh out' the larger areas of tone and voloume first. Eg: add more shadows and highlights over the entire figure.

Sometimes jumpimg straight to finished rendering on certains areas will eventually throw off the rest of the pic. You need to establish a consistant light source, an overall colour scheme etc. before details.

You can obviously ifnish a peice quite well, but without the general 'rough' down, you may find some unexpected problems later on (after spending hours working).

A bit of progress, plan it out like this?

Personally I always find that indicating the shadows quickly also helps.

The image looks OK so far.
