Critique my Drawing!

[bluepaintcan123]

Here is a VERY rough drawing of mine.
Constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated. (Also yes, I know I need to finish drawing the hands. Too much work, though.)

WARNING OPINIONS INCOMING:

I like it overall. The colours are nice and the anatomy seems solid.

Perhaps you could work on the pose, one of the arms seems to be doing nothing and she's just standing doing nothing.

About one-third of the image is blank and empty and I think this is a no-no in terms of composition but I'm no expert. If you want to accentuate how strong she is then maybe consider having her take up the whole page. If you divide the image into four squares then you can move the character so that she's occupying most of those four squares. Does that make sense?

Edit:

So there're two squares that are barely filled. Which I think makes the "balance" of the image skew to left.

this is really nice! the hair particularly has lovely gesture and volume, ad the shading on the torso is great. i think one criticism could be that the torso is a little stiff? the slight lean the the right and position of the legs implies shes putting more weight on one side of her body than the other, and the torso could do with having something of a c curve to it, with a stretch on the left (our left, not hers) and a pinch on the right.

Hands are hard! I agree with punkarsenic.
Don't take this critique the wrong way but the style reminds me of a clay cartoon where she's a blob and has no structure. When you start your rough drawing, try using those circles to help with foreshadowing to figure out her overall shape and depth. I'm not very good at explaining these things but I hope this helps!

Good base, here are some things I'm noticing.

Hands are hard! Here's what I see

I did a draw over to point out the areas that are a bit off

I hope this helps! Solid foundations though, you understand volume and placement of lines to create it.
*Looking carefully at your hand again, looks like it can also be interpreted looking like the sample I drew as well. Just be aware of line placement to avoid confusion at first glance

Since proportions and composition have been covered, all I can really recommend is to improve your contrast - you use very muted tones for colouring, so a darker shade for your lines would make them pop out a lot better. I wouldn't go too dark and make them black, per se, but a darker grey would even be an improvement.
The best colour I can recommend is a dark, red-dominant brown. It's not necessarily conventional to use brown lines but it would really suit the soft colours you use, rather than a dull grey that seems to blend into the background. It looks like you've done some really gorgeous shapework in the hair and it's barely visible because the lines aren't dark enough!
Hope that helps a little bit - I find that changing the colour of lines makes a huge difference for some styles.

You are doing great I think!
