Since you're working on improving your coloring, I'm gonna switch modes and suggest some stuff:

Great work with the shading. I see you're going into finer detail.

My suggestion......I'd add some immediate deeper shading to critical areas.
basically, all the places where the light REALLY doesnt hit. this would give your finished work more contrast.

Add a deeper shade of color at the edges of the sleeves. and add the same tone around her waist too where the background shows. Not on the side where her arm blocks the background from showing through.
It will bring out the global/area lighting.

Another suggestion, pull back on the shading on the legs just a bit. Some is fine but if you add too much to areas not needed, it looks.........well.........a bit dirty (in my opinion).

On the lower part of her legs, Instead of that abrupt start of shade near the bottom, I'd use your classic gradient fade you usually do. If you really want to add shading to her legs, remember that the light will hit that one long band of area on her legs and wont alter shading too much. It would sort of stay rather light whereas the shadows would alter according to the lack of light.


Other than that, looks great! Love the improvement!

lol oh yeah I noticed the dark thing,  but for this one I sticked to the shades on the tutorial, but I read it wrong and was coloring on a multiply layer over the first one.  

Yeah,
I agree with undelos about the coloring and stuff... the darker lines and such...

A good yay to do that is start with greyscale of a reference,
And get a notecard with a hole punched through it...

Then place it over an area in question, and you'll realize you probably need to go darker than what you thought...

Plus you have a weird light area under her skirt...




But that's just if i want to get nit picky, cuz stuff like that happens all the time xP   

And you're a bajillion times better at coloring than me xD
So i can't complain xP

I loooove the style of this! I can tell you're working towards your goal

took another swing at it so here it is again.

My comment disappeared >.>



Anyways,
I actually think i like the first one more   

But i like the legs in the second one ^.^
