Hiya there! ^^
I love the line art! I can tell you have some talent! I love the pose and the eyes and the face structure is great! I really like the outfit though! XD Guess it's that girly side of me kicking it XD
I usually don't comment, just vote, but I've seen a couple of your drawings and I hope you don't mind giving you a bit of advice. I noticed that you like to use black as a shadow color to shade in the dark parts. I use to do that too, don't get me wrong! But I've found a better way of coloring in the shadows. Try using just a darker color of the original that you're using.
For example, the skin. Use peach as the base (leave a little white on the edges from where the sun is hitting), and then on the darker side, use tan instead of black. Maybe even out line that dark side with a light brown and blend it in with the tan. It really does make a tremendous difference in the outcome of how it looks concerning making it more 3-D. But I always use a little black under the chin on the neck like you've done there and then add a little bit dark brown.
Or like, for red, I usually either press harder on the color pencil and then shade it in with 'mahogany' which is like a reddish brown, but by putting it over the red, it does make a darker shade of the red base.
Using this technique, you can add tan (and light brown) on the face too and it won't look weird and ugly. If you need a visual example, please look out for my X-mas drawing that I'll be putting up in several days. _<
I hope you didn't take this advice as an insult or something like that, I'm just trying to help you improve your artwork (Like I said, I went through the exact same phase of using black for all the shadows, but I have to admit, I like this method better).
Your overall picture is fantasic though! I appaulde you for your work! ^^
Yono
