You don't have to limit yourself to primitive you can also do some organic but you should probably start with primitive and move toward more organic drawing such as those provide in this example.


The picture is the reference i suppose i think you made the mistake of interpret a costume into the value of the skin which is just leak of observation here.It make more sense that a latex surface behave the way it does.The problem is that it impossible to tell that your character is wearing a costume yet because we don't see any separation between the skin and the costume.We can spot a helmet but we have no way to tell if it skin or latex because we don't see any logo like in the reference for example which help us understand that it a costume also  here we can see it goes over is face and we can see a portion of skin showing comfirming that those are two separate material which mean they behave differently under a light source.

Yeah I think I captured some of the latex texture. The character is shirtless like spartans. 

Also is the shading on dave rapoza already some sort of style? And I should not imitate it and I need to learn the shading style that comes natural to me?
