hehehe alot of people say my stufff looks like photomanips.. never quite sure if thats a good think or not.. 
you havent creeped me out! im still in shock that an artist i love as much as i do you is asking me for tips!!
but yeahh.. i would say NEVER start with a white background, i always put some sort of colour, like for the sky i had yellow, sea blue and harry peach. just in blocks, nothing fancy
i use such small brushes. Like most of Harry was done in Painttool SAI's smallest brush 0.7.. it takes forever but you get detail that you wouldnt get with a bigger one.
Watercolour tool on "deep" is my lover.
Whilst you want to have seperate layers for sep things, i find its better to work on as little layers as poss, you get a depth that you wouldnt with starting a-fresh every new layerr
Hope this helps
