the lighting doesnt look good I'm afraid that's just more a matter of drawing skillz than a PS tutorial my friend.

Basic drawing knowledge like using proper light source for highlights and shading, and knowing how to blend them to produce a convincing effect. You won't find many (if any) Photoshop specific tutes that will show you that. You have to look for basic drawing lessons.

On the plus side... it's not a hard subject to grasp.

Practice is your best way to learn this. There are many ways and looking at a tutorial usually won't fit your style and it will set you back. Try simple sketches using the brush tool and the smudge tool
