The picture itself is a splendid idea :) I like what you're doing here. I did a quick pain tover on some of the basics that I felt you where missing. Hope you don't mind. sorry ><;;
I didn't spend a lot of time trying to fix it. i just wanted to give you an idea. You need to keep your light source(s) in mind, also your values. Don't be afraid of dark areas. Remember that coloring isn't just putting color on a picture, but drawing light. Mine isn't perfect either, so i wouldn't use mine as a definitive resource. I just tried to show you the contrast. So you could have a better understanding of the values.
Use reference for everything. I know a lot of people say it's cheating, but using reference is the fastest way to learn how things actually are. The shoulder armor, hair, shadow, light, everything... and it makes it easier to understand what it is you're drawing. There's nothing wrong with drawing something from your head, then using reference later to make it look better.
Good luck in your arting adventures, and I hoped I was able to help even a little.
