I think you'd benefit a bit from simplifying your brush strokes and making them larger and more focused, so I did an example. im not saying the end result should be this flat tiled look, just more to think in this way of simplifying the strokes, using a brush with 100% opacity to lay colors in carefully assigning a color to each plane individually then only if necessary, blending the edges together. IMO if you could indicate that neck with 4 brush strokes, but i see yours used about 12 or so. It ends up looking blurry and sloppy and you sacrifice edge control for a perceived effect of expressiveness.
maybe even try it in greyscale and see if you can manage it, i know how that mindset of texture brush works, it gives you lots of room for error because they can bleed into each other and it looking different may make it seem like that the planes are fitting together, but if you dont get it on a fundamental level, that wont save it. Love to see more and keep on truckin
