Old Habits Die Hard

I have a horrible habit when it comes to digital painting on the computer.

My problem starts when I begin to paint layer upon layer so much so that when I want to erase a line I need to look through my tens of layers to find where I painted the line --  my stupid silly shortcut you ask?

To create yet another layer and use white paint.

The negative? When I want a transparent background or to fill in the background with a colour other than white I get white splotches everywhere! D:

I've tried to stop, and I have succeeded somewhat by limiting how much white paint and layers I use but my laziness is still kicking strong.

So, do you have any bad habits that you can't stop? I'd love to hear comments!! I'm sure I'm not the only with bad habits. Right?

The Man without a Body

And here is another sketch I leave. This is the style I'm aiming for, I'm searching for 'character.' (..yeah I probably sound like a lunatic)

(Critique: I can't stand his hair at the moment -_-).

    SAI lets you name layers, so I tend to make sure I named them xD... usually I don't work over 10layers... *looks at you* ._.

    I used a lot of layers as well in the past, but these days i have it down to 6 for cartoonish stuff and mostly 1 or 2 for "realism"

    My bad habbit, following premade steps to draw something and finding it hard to deviate from those steps, even if it could make the drawing better.
