Hey man, those little face constructions are looking great! Is that from Steve Huston's head drawing thing on youtube? I found that really useful.
Photoshop is pretty scary, I was dipping in and out for ages and kept getting frustrated with it (more that I couldn't draw with it how I can on paper). Recently things start to feel more natural and I can actually draw in it, although doesn't feel as nice as on paper still. My advice: find about 3 brushes you like and just use those, start on a grey canvas and try to ignore 90% of the options on there. Personally I use a soft brush that's squashed into an oval shape that I use for laying in stuff, then a hard edge brush with size to pressure turned on to 'ink' the lines over the top, and one texture type grainy brush for painting. - After typing that I realise that can sound really confusing if you don't know what I'm talking about - but just try some of the brushes, pick a few that you like and delete the rest (you can get them back easily later).
