You're on the right tracks to getting a good figure going but missing some of the fundamentals that make a drawing pop out and become excellent. I'd suggest looking into colour theory and perspective drawing to really get those nailed down. Perspective is a big deal when it comes to getting an accurate drawing and something I still work allot on personally. Also a good thing to do while drawing it would be to step back a bit and look, see if something's a bit off or a tweak is needed here or there.
Something I find incredibly useful (which sounds odd to some people but is great for an artists and all artists should do it) is to simply look at soemthing and observe how it flows, interacts, moves, how it reacts to light and really get an idea of how that object works in reality. Once you understand reality and can draw real objects with confidence your level of detail and quality will dramatically start increasing.
Notes for you that I notice from that drawing:
The hair is missing any texture or true to life depth. (Hair is a tricky one to get right)
The colours used are very saturated, generally in real life you don't get much saturation. (Colours generally follow the gradient of light the color the less saturated it is and as it gets darker it becomes more saturated). Man I must be bored tonight...
The background does not fit the figure, it looks an image pulled down from online which clashes with the style you have with the figure. A more monotone background or something in the same style would work alot better.
I'd also have to recommend on trying to get a style that stands out from the rest a bit. As there are plenty of artists that have a similar style and having one that's more recognizable can play at hand when getting jobs.
Personally I wouldn't pay anymore than $10 for it.
