edit - I might as well replace it with the updated version down in the comments:

I'm trying to teach myself proper colour usage at the moment as well, so I'm not exactly speaking from expert experience here, but have you tried using a colour a bit browner or redder for the shading? You've currently done the shading with a touch of black ink, but for some reason it doesn't look quite like the right colour to me. Of course I'm still trying to build up my intuition on this, so I could be wrong.

I also got a bit confused with the background - maybe because orange is essentially the same hue as pink skin color. Or maybe because it looks like a setting sun but the light source is coming from in front of the screen to the left.
- Head is a tiny bit too small
- Left arm should be smaller, because of perspective
- Thighs are a bit on the thick side
- Right calf looks like it is splayed out at a very awkward angle
- That's probably the flattest butt I've ever seen [wink]
The last one would probably not be an issue if her thighs were a bit less chunky.
Good work overall, though - I like the pose and the composition with the backdrop. The coloration definitely adds a lot as well.
