I'm not going to compliment this piece much. I'd rather tell you what's distracting me from enjoying this work as you intend.
Nonetheless I'll begin with what impressed me. You nailed proportion and scale of their general figures as they lay along the perspective. Their poses are relatively natural, if only a little stiff in the limbs and faces. Their body shapes appear consistently full.
Now the bash...
This drawing betrays a fixation on a technique of drawing whereby you are over-reliant on contours to define your shapes. What happens when you're overdependent on contour drawing is that your work looks like you drew it without looking (blind contour) and you were really good at it. This is actually a bad thing, because a drawing you obviously looked at isn't supposed to look like you didn't.
What would remedy this contour issue is a more sketchy approach. You don't have to be sketchy like me (I'm probably "too" sketchy) but you might get better results if you drew a line repeatedly, resulting in a composite shape that better defines the edge. You seem to lack the natural brushstroke acumen to nail a contour in one swipe, so you should explore sketching more.
You seem to be compensating, nonetheless, which is why I stated this seems to be done by somebody who really gets blind contour. You have a general understanding of space and the behaviors of solids in space. Their positioning is good and their posture is much better than the lines that represent them.
If it's an outlined style you're seeking (an element consistent in anime and cartoons), don't fall into the habit of making all the outlines the same width. You should explore varying the widths of lines.
I recommend you procure a wacom tablet (I've got an entry-level bamboo) and try drawing directly in Photoshop. Once you get a feel for a tablet it will surprise you how easy and handy the tools in Photoshop are. I use Painter, not Photoshop, so I don't know how versatile that pen tool is, but you should look into it. The ability to adjust lines might serve you well since you have some natural hand-wobble in the contours.

This has to be the biggest comment iv ever received so far! 
Thank you so much for taking the time to point out all the mistakes (which are too many!).
"This is actually a bad thing, because a drawing you obviously looked at isn't supposed to look like you didn't." I completely agree.. but i dont understand how to not make it look like that.
And now since you mentioned the sketchy approach...it does make a lil sense.. and i recently started taking sketching classes and the first thing the instructor told me was that its ok to draw too many lines or even messy lines. And also abt the brushstroke i realized that instead of making a single line...i tend to pause every now and then and end up drawing smaller lines which make up for that one single line...(hope that made sense). I am trying to rectify this...!
I am thinking about buying a tablet... and i beleive it will improve my drawings quite a bit.
Thank you so much again for taking the time to explain all of this!

I was fortunate in that I relied on scanning drawings in for a long time, I was late to acquire a tablet.
Consequently, the claim that the pros make is proven true in my experience. The point that I'm getting to is that magic software and hardware, while a valuable asset in an artist's arsenal, aren't supposed to be the key player. A tablet won't make everyone an art prodigy. Some people actually suck with them. But in your case, I see definite improvement in your work from incorporating the tablet. Nonetheless, you should be prepared that the tablet won't work it's magic immediately. It may take a few weeks of regular use to get the feel down.
You'll enjoy scribble-technique. If your sketch instructor hasn't gotten to it yet, the basic approach is to whirl the pencil in circles over and over again (based of a stick figure skeleton) very lightly and repeated strokes will build up over concentrated regions you control and will darken, resulting in a very sketchy yet surprisingly detailed result. It's practically the ultimate abandon of contour lines
I'm glad to offer my critique. You're quite welcome.
