I recently finished this pose for Escape and I think it turned pretty good. I like how the arms are a bit muscly and not just skinny. Although I'm not sure about the shading of the dress.
in my opinion, your shading looks too flat because you're using a lot of low opacity layers, instead of few high opacity layers. study the shading that stardoll uses on our dolls and try to imitate it in your own style, play with opacity levels and spacing of layers, and be sure to highlight! don't be afraid to over shade, you can always lower the contrast, but if you under shade its almost impossible to improve it once its done.
i think the dress shading is the best part, it flows very well. keep up the good work! with some hard work and determination i think you could improve dramatically and become an incredibly talented designer.
Oh, thank you so much! You can't imagine how helpful this is. In the past I had tried to shade with more contrast between the layers but at the time I didn't like it so I started shading very lightly.
I think that in my next graphic I will try again and post a part of it here to see if people like it more. I'm so happy you like the dress because I was kinda afraid that no one would find it nice.
That's so sweet of you and you actually give me a lot of motivation haha Thank you :)

agreed! you need to highlight the skin! in the HQ version of the graphic, I think the shoe shading is very good!
