You did a great job with the coloring on this. Coloring is very hard master, especially if you are using Selective coloring. I'm still learning and experimenting with color. And as I have said before coloring that is acceptable for fan art isn't always acceptable on RL images.
For sharpening I use two different methods...1st way----- In filters, under sharpen, I use the unsharp mask. I adjust the mask to my liking, without getting the image too pixelated. 2nd way-----Duplicate the image, go to filters, then down to other, then click on high pass. I adjust high pass until it looks like there is a slight film over the image. Then I set the top image (the one with the film) to soft light. Then I adjust the opacity to my liking and merge the two layers.
In the photo studio (before the days of PS) I was taught this mnemonic for coloring. My - Great (Magenta - Green) Big - Yellow (Blue - Yellow) Cadillac - Runs (Cyan - Red) Which really isn't necessary now with photoshop but it still is fun.
