You can start with fixing anatomy problems of your character. To make things easier use this free tool: https://justsketch.me/
Pose a model there and use it as a base for your new drawing.

Then, fix the wings. Again, why not use a model for a reference? Here's an example: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/angel-wings-33a689cfaf33427286c8f98956f5cd1e You can rotate it to choose a better angle. Also, you can search for other wing models on Sketchfab. It's a great source of all kinds of references for artists.

Third, fix the hair. There are lots of tutorials that will help you understand how hair grows, separates into threads, etc. An example: https://youtu.be/rAfg0eWrWkk

Fourth: find an interesting palette. Why not learn from famous movies? https://moviesincolor.com/

And lastly, find better fonts. The ones you chose just scream nonprofessional. There are lots of great free fonts in the web. Take your pick: https://www.1001freefonts.com/

Good luck!
