I drew this myself and colored it half dried sketch pens and other stuff. Let me know how it is.

It looks quite good, really.
To tell you the truth, though, I don't really see much difference between the original and the edited one. It is darker. I can see that.

I think it's really good. You got the folds and the shading well.
Most of the body's proportions don't war with the laws of physics, except for the chest, it looks kind of weird.

The hair too, looks strange but I can let you off the hook since it's anime we're talking about.

Overall, I thought it was good, and keep at it!!!!

More art! Sweet ^_^

I love this design! It's interesting how there are those bandage-like things on the arms instead of gloves. The colors also look nice together. And I think the dried pens add a nice texture.

There are just a few things bugging me, like the cape. It was hard to tell it was a cape at first, and I think it looks more like a scarf. I dunno, it just looks too small for a cape but too bulky for a scarf. And the black stuff underneath it could either be shadow or part of the cape as well. If you're drawing this character again, I'd try to make this part a bit clearer.

The other thing was the waist; it looks a little skinny. Your proportions are very good in this drawing. The character looks realistic. The only are that seemed off was the tummy because it looks even smaller than the width of the head. For some manga or chibi drawing, this would be ok, except here I think your proportions are too realistic to let this slide.

Again, great job with the editing! I see how you cleared up some smudges in the background. Some tricks I use sometimes is to add a new layer, set it to overlay, and throw in a colored gradient. It can add some really subtle color that would be difficult to achieve with regular sketches.
The bad news is we don't have any control.
The good news is we can't make any mistakes.
