There is no one recipe for painting a masterpiece...
Every artist has their own digital painting process they go through when creating art. Many do sketches first, others block in the colors directly, some start painting in greyscale and some use colors right from the beginning.
Developing your own painting process takes some experimenting to find what best fits your own style of work and painting.
