To master CGs you need to master layering, outlining and placing colour. Colour can be done in two ways - airbrushing, or cell style. I work with cell style, but I see you work with airbrushing.

The only difference between them is the hardness with the brush. You need to learn to blend more tones into the skin, slight highlighting, darkening some areas more than most. Use the light source in the picture and distance to teach yourself where highlights and shadows go.

The dodge and burn tools are your friends - but don't over ruse them or it won't look very good.

Thanks you very much for the advice, Belldandirah. Although, how do I tell if I over use them? I guess that I have to find it out myself.
:iconbelldandirah:
You can tell when they've been overused easily, it just... looks ugly.
The best way to shade and highlight is to select a shade that's slightly darker or slightly lighter than the base skin colour, then work it on layers on top of it. (Layer > new layer).
