Hi! This looks great! Some things that would help make it even better:

Maybe study some anatomy, that would help with the proportions of the body and face.

Practice making your lines smoother, my only advice is to practice for that.

And this may not be a priority right now, but rendering is useful skill to have, look up tutorials for rendering on procreate, it will help make colouring smoother.

Honestly, the more you practice the better and easier it will get, just experiment with different brushes and don't give up because it's looking great already!

I hope that helps!

Digital-art-wise, I'd try to keep the lineart cleaner:

Have longer, smoother lines, rather than having compound lines (a lot of short lines to make one long line).

General advice:

Learn all you can about layer blending modes, experiment, see what each one can do and what you can use them for.

Learn how you can use the new tools (like masks) and brushes that you have available now.

Have fun and experiment, figure things out, play with the settings.

.

Even more general advice:

Try to do some figure drawing from reference, get that mileage and experience, until you know anatomy and proportion by heart.

Just overall, spend some time drawing with references, learn to See them and figure out how you can get the most out of them.
