With regard to your first comment, you said that you had an overwhelming desire to smudge "every" line you make. There is a place for smudging, but it should be done with thought, and not because you are not content with your lines.

Your last post reminds me of my oil pastel experience. You did not post the reference photo, so it is hard to say anything about the drawing aspects.

You perhaps should do some black and white work to sharpen your form a bit. It looks a little weak. It is hard to do color if your form is not strong. The color aspect actually distracts you from getting the form correct if you are weak there. The form should be subconscious.
