Hey guys, this is my first post so bear with me if something is broken or doesn't work. I have the following sketch and am attempting to color it in PS, but as you can see in the second image, it's not going as i planned. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Feel free to snag the image and show me how to do it!
The sketch scanned in:

And now for my pathetic beginning coloring attempt:

If this gets to a point where I'd like it, it may end up as a Showdown Drawclub entry (oops, did i mention ****club?!)

Well I am no expert - far from it. BUT I know that if I were painting this image, I would want to clean it up a lot before I started. You will find it very hard to get good lines and shape when there are so many to choose from!

Try to clean the image up so that you have a nice crisp line art image before colouring. Oh and keep the shaded version as a reference for adding your shadows and highlites later.
