Great art, but shoddy tutorial.
It should be renamed. I think tutorials should be alot more indepth as they aim to teach something. From this? All I can glean is that you are a talented artist.
What tools did you use? What tips would you suggest.
I'm more or less with you up until half way.
But for anyone looking to really learn how to get that end result, and they don't know where to go after lineart? This wouldn't help a bit.
It's about as helpful as telling someone "You have your lineart... now do a bit of color, and now make it awesome."
One is left wondering... "How? Exactly?"
Regardless, as a progression piece it gets top marks. Without a doubt you are very talented.

Well I do apologise for sounding rude.
I agree, it could have a disclaimer that it isn't for absolute beginners.
I personally felt like I'd learned something, maybe it had targeted weaknesses.
By saying 'engaging' I was trying to be helpful. Your brain will retain information that you have personally discovered through experimentation, and attempting to dissect how someone approaches a task, a lot better.
I found this tutorial particularly helpful due to the changing of the original design over the course of the images. It shows the artists experimentation. I do agree, like I said, that someone who has just entered the photoshop world might be left bewildered by how this could be useful due to their technical knowledge of the software being limited.
So, it would have been even more useful to add information such as the layers and brushes used. But on the flip side, this might deter an artist with more knowledge by rehashing information that you learn about photoshop after a few weeks.
I think it's being viewed as a tutorial teaching technical knowledge, when really it's teaching fundamental art and compositional construction knowledge...
Too much emphasis is placed on brushes, brush settings and photoshop voodoo by people. I don't see anything wrong with a tutorial that focuses on the thought process of an artwork, personally.

But it ceases to be a -tutorial-. It becomes a progression piece. Not a tutorial.
That's my entire point.
I appreciate you making you point in a civil manner.
Too many internet disagreements get downright hostile.
I do believe at this point we can simply agree to disagree.

No problem, same too you.

It shows the entire process from lineart to fully rendered. There are no tricks. Do some line art, grab a chalk brush and render it.
This even shows the thought process of design - painting the arm blue, not likeing that, adding some lower value gloves in it's place. Changing the piece of black hair at the end to contrast less.
You need to engage and think about her decisions. Not every tutorial has to have every fundamental 'spelled' out for people to make it viable...
I apologize if this sounds rude, I just thought it was seriously an unfair critique.

If I showed this to a rookie artist, he'd be completely lost.
That's my entire point. And yeah it does sound kind of rude.
A tutorial itself is not an art piece, a tutorial is an educational piece.
You're not supposed to just fill in the blanks or "engage and think".
I don't wanna have to guess what kind of brush someone uses to get a certain effect.
I think you're seriously biased, you're the kind of artist who could draw something like this with their eyes closed. You're probably a photoshop veteran who knows their way around it. Turn back the clock to when you were new to all this. Would this "tutorial" have really helped you at all? I don't think so.

+ 4.5/5 stars is still a very high score so I don't exactly see how it's unfair

That's not a tutorial. In a tutorial you should really show every step with screenshots showing how to do it. The art is beautiful and it is indeed interesting to see some steps of the process but I didn't learn anything and beginners wouldn't.

adding some new layers in the top of the previous one and pick the brighter color and the overlap some in the edge of every characters.

i'm kinda confuse with panel 4. that purple soft gradient in her hand, what it is for? because in panel 5 you cover it with color and i don't see any difference in other next panel.

i just want to give it a try a purple-ish highlights for that parts , which area affects the highlights and how the color works. it's not that important thou but yeah it's one of the step i did.

Both Critique's are correct, but either way I still enjoyed seeing this. I've learned quite a bit just by seeing the progress used by many artists such as yourself. Unfortunately I still have a very very long way to go.

when I blend colours, I find it difficult to make the lines show without looking too exaggerated, how did you get that?
