Look at this example. This is someone using a simple execution and flat values, no soft edges, just like you... But do you see that his convey the shape of a nose, an eye, a mouth etc... You barely understand what's beneath the skin. That's okay, none of us did starting out, but that's where you begin, see?
You also seem to be struggling with photoshop or whatever software you're using. If you're letting the lack of functionality (or rather the comprehension of it in this case) hamper you and dictate your workflow, then maybe you need to focus on getting that straightened out before hoping for any substantial help here.
Have you read the sticky? It's really useful actually.
I highly recommend that you go to ctrlpaint.com/library and start with with digital painting 101, and you'll have Matt Kohr, a real competent digital artist and teacher, going through the basics and how to use the tools.
