Dood, keep up the work. Looking so good.
If you're struggling with colour, get your hands on some traditional paint. Gouache is great but dries slightly different than when wet. Oils are my favorite, but are tricky to get the hang of, and clean up is a pain.
I found that having to mix the colours yourself, rather than picking and choosing, gives me a better understanding of what's going on. It also forces you to REALLY think about what you're doing; no ctr z.
Will also help you understand edges a bit better. If you're interested in getting started with them, just ask and I'll do what I can to explain some of the hickups you might have.
