Lovely!
The movement looks really great! You don't seem to have problems with anatomy and overall did an amazing job! I would recommend picking a light source so you will know where to do lighting and shading. There are many tutorials on YouTube on this topic but I can't say i can reccomend one since i have a bad memory and remember no channel names tho, sorry about that :( but the piece still looks amazing
OH KATARA sobbing i love her so much as i am watching avatar for the first time, believe it or not hehehe Regarding anatomy there are any tips i could give you cuz she is beautifully done. As far as lightning goes i think you could try lightning with other shades of colors, added to those greyish tones you have used. also, do not be scare of hard edges, i do think the ones in her skin are pretty good but the ones in her clothes need more contrast! (obvs i am no expert either) and that is all, i absolutely love this piece🥰🥰☺️
I would go on Pinterest for tips on shading and highlights. There are TONS of artists who post advise and examples and then the real like examples are great as well.

I personally think you did awesome!! The water looks so great!!
