I had the idea in my mind and proceeded to map out that thought onto a thumbnail strictly for colors ( i don't know the proper art term for it). I did end up using reference for light value, like ambient light, and foliage. That's it.

I noticed that by the heads from the start of the thread till the end with the color study on the body, it's like you understand where to smudge and where to not. Also it's very good if you are mixing both hard and soft brushes. Pretty cool sketchbook, will have my eye on! :)
Honestly, it's all luck. Luck and many educated guesses. Maybe I'm beginning to be good at observing but not so well at understanding.
