This feels a bit awkward but people keep asking so I wrote some.
- Don't cover one eye of your character. I know eye-patches and winking and fringes look cute, but making all your drawings like that might indicate that the face looks a bit derpy and you're just avoiding the problem. Force yourself to spend more time on that and get it right. PS. Drawing smaller eyes helps a bit.
- Draw the hands, don't cover them. We all see what you did there.
Don't reference hands from anime drawings because many people draw them wrong and you will only make it look worse. As I said above, force yourself to draw it right even if it takes multiple attempts to achieve the result.
-Generally focus on drawing well rather than coloring well. If your drawing/lineart looks good, the outcome will look good even with simple colours. You can please some audience with shiny drawings, but bright colours and sparkles cannot hide the mistakes from a trained eye.
I think the last one is the most important one ^^
