Congrats for taking it to a finish, really comes to life! I've seen tons worse used in various commercial works, so be happy with that for sure : )
As well as what's been said already, I'd say to do more gesture drawings, do them from imagination too and try and fit the simple forms of head ribcage etc on top - give yourself a training ground to figure out all those difficult foreshortened and unusual views so that they become second nature when you want to do an illustration. It seems you really like drawing characters, so it's worth grinding that stuff.
Just my opinion of course!
I've been doing it a lot recently, at least 50% of my gesture drawing is from imagination now, on top of perspective grids, and I'm finding so much benefit.
