Hi, I'm here from ProjectComment !
The first thing I want to say is that I think you've done an amazing job at drawing, colouring and shading her clothes! The folds in the cloth all look very natural, and the shadows really give the image some depth. However, I feel like her skin, and especially her hair, could use some more, darker shading in certain areas. For the skin, I think a thin shadow would be cast on her legs and torso by the clothes she's wearing in the smaller drawing. The chin also often casts a fairly dark shadow on the neck. As for the hair, the areas under her chin, around her neck, and a small area around her body are probably the main areas you'd want to consider particularly darker shadows. The undersides of the strands of hair, might also be somewhere to consider more shading. Adding some lighter areas for highlights could also help give the effect of depth, and I imagine if she is protective of her hair, she would probably take good enough care of it that it would be pretty shiny when hit by light.
The only other problems I can see are that in the larger drawing it looks (to me, at least) like she's missing her left ear. Since her hair is flowing out to the left, and lifted away from the side of her face, you'd probably be able to see her ear which would normally be hidden. Also, she doesn't appear to have much of a grip on her sword at all. I'm guessing the reason for this is her long nails, but since she seems to be seated, you could have the sword point-down on the ground with her hand resting on the pommel. If not, then her fingers should probably be wrapped around the sword's handle.
Overall I think this is a great piece! I hope some of this is helpful!

First l like the contrast between your the image of your OC. They are quite stylish and convey with force your idea.
The color are well chosen, the hair distinctive and elegant.
The anatomy... Hum the size are not well designed. I infer that you didn't draw a skeleton of the pose to have a rough idea of the final result.
The band in the sleeve are a nice touch, quite trendy, but they have (I think) the adverse effect of marking two point of flexion. Like the arm had three section.
Overall nice work! It will be a pleasure to watch your progress

Quite an improvement on the last model. Design fits into the world well, though heels are just impractical for combat and that sword thing doesn't look practical either, but minor issues. I'd also at least tie that hair back when fighting.

incorporating them into her style gives them a reason to be there, which works. Cool

Mine neither, though my school is actually trying to be better, and managing.
