Posting is hard to do, but this is a friendly place. Welcome!

I'm about a year into learning digital painting, but I use Procreate. I generally stick to 2 or 3 brushes per image (usually a line brush, a fill in brush, and a texturey brush.) Working that way helps me be clear about which details to put on which layers, and I get less mixed up and muddy.

I think it would be good to arrange all 5 drawings into a single image and develop them together. As you work, you'll learn things about your character's proportions, physicality, outfit, and expression. You might want to look at old WIP threads from the Yeti character design challenge in December to see how some other people worked through a character design, and how they discuss feedback.
