I got asked how I do my art very often recently. I planned anyways to do a tutorial how I handle PS so suuurpriiiise here have one. I really did my best to describe my steps.

Keep in mind: it's not the final rule and not the best technique I use and it might be you have a better one. don't limit yourself on this tutorial or try to combine different stuff you read about to get a technique you can easily use for yourself and works best =)
