I always go silhouette → graphical breakup → then directional lighting (one Adjustment Layer entirely devoted to shading and another for highlights) → slap on textures.

the layer separation weakness comes when you have to change something major like arm position, cause you have to move each layer, and that can become time consuming. once all colors/values are there i am able to move/repaint areas fairly quickly.
you should do a process post too when you get some time, i'd like to see it (=
