Good lines
You've done a pretty good job of developing the lines/contour in the drawing. The proportions are pretty well developed as well. There are however two things that need to be worked out in order to improve the over all finished product.
The first is how the shadows are developed. The color black does not equal shadow. Black as a shadow color in a symbol that everyone learns when they grow up watching cartoons and looking at comic books. Just like a football shape is the symbol for an eye or a side ways "V" is a symbol for a nose. When, for instance, you are shading the red in the hood, go with darker values of the red hue. Don't just layer black on top of the color your trying to shade, that would be too easy.
This brings me to the second point. The color use is very sparse. I think too much of the white paper shows through the layer of color. The color would be greatly improved if you laid more layers of pigment, either the same or similar colors that work with the color your laying down, to get a rich depth of color. One thing to keep in mind though, is not to fill the tooth of the paper so much with one layer of color that you can't lay other colors on top of it.
Hope this helps and keep at it you seem to be headed in the right direction.
