Description
This is one of my first colorize, and because I like to complicate my life I decided to burn my retinas with the yellow of the constructs of an XD yellow lantern

Hello! You did a nice job at presenting the character here - the hair and cloak dramatically blowing in the wind, as well as the heroic up-shot and the way she's showing off her powers make for a very dramatic image.
What I think you could improve on is the glow. Right now it's a fairly even rim around the glowing objects - maybe try fading it out a bit. It should also work as a light source more. You already did a good job at having the yellow glow reflect off the inside of the cloak, but it should also light other parts of the character - her legs, hand, the underside of her boobs (which is now shaded although they face the light!), the lower strands of her hair, perhaps even up to her face to bring a bit more emphasis to it. I think the glowy thingies themselves could also have some even lighter bits added - maybe try lighter outlines, or lighter glow towards the center.
The inside of the hood should also look a lot darker. The hood itself is also weirdly standing up aroudn the character's head - the top doesn't really rest on the actual head, so try bringing it down a little. If it's not important to the character you could also just take it off to let her hair stand out more.
Another suggestion with regards to shading would be to make more use of colours. I like to use colours complementary to the colour of the light for shading - in this case, purple as the complimetary colour of yellow! Give it a try
I also think the hair could use a bit of work. Try focusing on larger sections near the head, and add more detail towards the tips - this also helps with shading, which is a bit absent. Here's an awesome tutorial on hair-related matters Gribby's super-thorough Hair Tutorial1
I do like how you used different shades of green for it, it makes it a lot more interesting and natural than solid colours. However, the colours don't really follow the flow of the hair.
Also, the single strand going across her face looks almost more like a marking the way it ends right at her chin, and doesn't really cover the eye. Try shifting it to the side a little and making it a bit longer or shorter!
The anatomy is for the most part really good. The only thing I would critique here is the front side of the torso - it should curve outward rather than inward, especially the belly. Maybe also consider showing the other arm. It could be invisible in that pose, but nonetheless it looks a bit odd. Maybe just showing her elbow behind her back would work.
Overall though you did a greta job at presenting your heroine! Keep it up!

Thank you. Thank you very much indeed! I'm really grateful that you spent some time to observe, analyze and then comment on the design, giving me lots of useful tips! This is one of the first works I did with the graphic tablet and the first ever dedicated to a lantern. I realized that there were a lot of things to fix but I had not the faintest idea of what to fix (apart from the hood that was visibly badly made but that I did not know how to correct) or even how to fix them. So really: thank you! You were very kind to give me so many suggestions
I really appreciate the help you gave me, thanks again, even the very kind compliments ♥ as soon as possible I will put back hand arranging it ♥
