Subtly, add a few more colors besides peach tones in to the shadows and perhaps just a bit in the highlights. Choose a color for the background and go according to that. Also, maybe define where she is a little more. If she's sitting, she'll produce a shadow.
If you want help with the anatomy, my advice would be to reference a picture of someone making that pose and go according to that a bit more than you are. Pay attention to the line quality, make it thicker where there is more weight and thinner where the light would be shining. Take away the lines for the nipples, they look like they were just stuck on. Use color and shadow to define them, not lines. I would also use that same advice when addressing all of the lines in this drawing. Incorporate them into the subject to make it pop more. I also would pay more attention to the feet, as well as the hands and midsection, since they look a bit wonky and flat.
Good luck!

gah, i so know how that feels. i think one way to get over that is to experiment with different colors. if you're working digitally you can use layers and just splash some colors on there and see what happens. one way i try and see it is that skin color is dependent on the environment since it's translucent. some areas will be redder than others due to blood while some areas will be lighter and paler. saturated areas happen near the areas where shadows and highlights meet.
i agree with zebee in choosing a color for the background. it makes it easier to pick a base color...not all the time the skin color has to be orange or yellow. if the bg is blue you may want to try a cooler color scheme.
i like the pose, i think you can work with that. i don't see or feel anything wrong about it...maybe minor areas like the face (the lips feel a little off to me) or something but nothing truly major from my perspective.

I find that the skin tone is less of a problem than her hips - it sort of looks like her pelvis is some king of beanbag or something to me?
As for skin tone, I might suggest finding a photo with some striking skin that you enjoy and really studying the different tones that make it pop. One thing about effective shading is that you can't just vary the brightness of the same color - shadows usually have slightly different hue and saturation values as well. If she is sitting on a reddish surface there will be some radiosity reflection on her underside and that will make her shadows a tiny bit reddish.

i like the way the skin is colored. i thnk you could pull some more colors into the flesh tones and get away from the variations on the peach color you're using.
I agree with the sort of bean bag bottom effect going on her. Her butt cheek on the nearest side looks like it merges with erh other own. The crevice between the two should start to be visible.
I think you might need a reference. The way her leg is covering her private parts doesn't really look convincing.
