My major crit for you? Anatomy. You need to probably look at another picture as a ref while drawing.
Also, draw your lines on one layer, colour on another, and make sure you stay IN those lines. You can adjust the smoothness of the lines to make them less jagged- when it comes to Shading, pick a light source, and use the airbrush tool, or a regular brush with lowered opacity and put a decent amount, as shadows drag out- not just a little bit, then the smudge tool. It'll help.
It's not a long crit, it's just to the point, telling you what's wrong, so finally, you need a background. Most intermediate oekaki has a background, unless it's a severely detailed, looks-like-a-photograph-drawing. Sometimes, even those have backgrounds. In saying, you need to fix the anatomy, clean up the lines, add a background, and work on your shading.
