As for Cleo's picture then there really ought to be a clear rendering process for this kind of thing ( I know you can't make everyone do it the same but there is an efficient way ) and if you get hooked up on final rendering when there are parts of the image not even underpainted then there is a huge risk of the image becoming disjointed.
At the very least you should get your sketch down, ( inked if you are going that way ) flats layer, underpainting, shadow layer for depth and then all your paint layers to give it life. If you get hooked on making a particular area perfect before you have started another area you become very loathe to correct those earlier areas and can end up with something that's not flowing.
This is an opinion. I'm sober and not an expert.
