 I really don't like this and i'm not sure what I can do about it. I really wanted this to be ... better. Anyhow, it may look "finished" but I'm still considering it a WIP for the time being. If you have any suggestions on how to nice it up please let me know.

I like the cup and the coffee in it looks cool too.
Anatomy-wise;
Her left foot doesn't look right, her arms aren't the same width, her face just doesn't look pretty.

The only thing I can really think of is her foot needs to be changed a bit. It's pretty cool otherwise and I'm sure you'll come up with something that you like.

I feel like her face should be more seductive
squinty eyes and like pursed lips. think classic pin-ups, you know?

i don't like the air brushing on the cup at all. I think it's interesting that the rest of the drawing has a sort of rough handrawn feel to it, the shading by comparison looks sort of cheesy and digital.
Maybe you should have gone with something like an ink wash that would look more traditional, try using a brush that has hard edges and low opacity
otherwise, i very much like the drawing and as far as the anatomy flaws that other people are pointing out, i think they add a certain charm or appeal to the image more than perfect anatomy would.

I made an attempt to sexy up the face a bit. I think it's better technically but maybe it's ... too fake? I dunno, I'm still not feelin' it. Page boy: I think you are right, I should redo the shading in a less cheesy fake sort of way.

I would fix up the line quality - there are places where it's really rough. The line under her foot and the two lines going around the rim of the cup are the ones that stand out most, though there's some unevenness on the heart and the bottom of the cup, too. I don't know what you used to redraw her face, but the lines on her face alone are way better than anything on the rest of the drawing.

The whole new face is vector.

I've found that to be easier (and much faster) than using an actual brush. It is a bit limiting, but for simple line drawings, it's great.

I'm working hard to overcome my damned shaky hands, so I do want to continue ruining pictures with a brush until I get it right.

I wasn't implying that you should stop using a brush entirely, just that one may be better suited for certain drawings than the other. I have (had? it's not as bad as it used to be) shaky hands too, so I know how frustrating it is to work with a brush when all your lines keep coming out wobbly and uneven D:

I'm not sure what you mean by a "brush pen", do you have an image or something? (I'm guessing it's a pen with a brushy tip.)
