If you would leave a reference of your art, that would be helpful

id say use stronger paper thatd b able to handle all the marker.
also, the box she is holding is kind of crooked.
the things thatve helped me the most with my art is keeping a sketchbook, drawing realistic stuff as practice and not conforming to just one style.

the colouring is amazing !!!!!!

Yeah the coloring looks really nice, as well as the over all. I also recommend working on the hands. A lot of people have problem with drawing hands, and you have references of your own so that'd be an improvement to make.

Spoiler: Also about your lining;

The line on the left is when you draw multiple little lines to form a single line. This is a typical and BAD habit that amateur artists make. This is mainly due to not having enough confidence in drawing lines in a single stroke. Ideally, you want your lines to look like the one on the right. This is accomplished by a single stroke. If that's what you mean by lines, then just work on that.

I absolutely agree drawing on stronger paper would be better suited for you. The coloring is awesome! You've got shadows and highlights really well. Maybe go for highlights a tiny bit more to create a little more contrast? I think her hair could use a little more highlights to really bring out the color. I think the pose is very good too!

I do agree hands appear to be your weak point. I'm awful at drawing hands so I can relate. Maybe try with easy hand poses like fists to get used to drawing hands? I'm sorry for not having more help here.

As for the box, I think your solution is to use a ruler. It may be a pain to use a ruler but it makes a such a difference in drawing objects. I think I would try to draw the box before drawing the hands. idk if that'll be easier for you but it may be worth a shot.

Anyway, great job!

It's hard to give tips on shading and coloring when you're doing it exactly the same as the reference picture.
