Who doesn’t love Disney’s Peter Pan?

I have been trying to improve on my colouring, and I really feel I could take this picture to “the next level” if I but knew how.
I’m only encouraging advanced critic on this in hopes of getting tips. Please don’t tear me apart, I’m coming from being a pen-and-ink artist, and I have never been to art school, and I failed every art class I ever took in high school. :/

Alright, so, Peter and Tink, as seen in my line-art here: [link] all coloured. I was going for dramatic, I hope I got some of that. Tink was the hardest part of this picture because she is SO small. I forgot to save my NOT sized down copy of the line-art (first time EVER) so I only had an image 900x850 to work with, and with her face so tiny, and limbs so thin, it was HARD! So forgive her her crappyness.
Shadows need to be darker, highlights brighter…GAH! 20 layers and 8 hours later I just gave up.

I still like this, despite everything that bothers me.
