Hey Yonderly :)
As I see it, your ideas and color use are very good. You just need some brush/pen/pencil control and getting values in order. Both are learned through experience and watching old masters. I tend to find paintings I like, throw them into photoshop and turn them to black and white. It will become obvious that there is a pattern to how professionals place there low and high values.
For painting/drawing people, I would like to advise looking at work from John Singer Sargent! That guy was a god among men when using light to create lively portraits.
Good luck and never forget to have fun!

Learning is not the same as performing.
