You're going too much into detail without blocking in the colors first
Don't use many strokes with a low opacity brush. Instead, use as little strokes as possible with a high opacity brush
then add in the color transitions with a low opacity brush
When painting digitally, you gotta block in the colors (to get a general idea on how the 3D objects react to the light source, aka "simplifying to the basic tonal shapes") before refining the picture with little details
Here's a shitty paintover I did with the lakitu in 10 minutes.

Notice how the cloud's face looks cleaner than yours. That's because I blocked in the cloud's colors before adding the face (the "detail"). I'm pretty sure that you can do the same with the boo.
It's looking good so far though, keep at it
