This is already good! Proportions are plausible, there’s shading, things “read” clearly (I’m not confused about what’s what), good use of color. The wood grain in the table is a nice touch! I would be happy to see this is a game
Suggestions:
- the thighs appear flat instead of round because there’s no left-right shading
- the table has two problems: it’s too camera-aligned and the can on top isn’t on top but past the edge. The spoon and orange food bits are good, though
- matter of taste, but I think the black borders could be thinner - try making the diagonal jump rather than having double-thickness heh at every corner
- text is good but it needs more contrast. Tricky because the wall is light and the window scene is dark. Try picking a nice dark bg color and extending it behind the text in front of the wall
- what are those three lines in the upper left?
- the lady’s tummy near the love handle is hovering over the top of her thigh, like there’s an invisible cylinder propping it up

I’ll echo Badidea4’s suggestion about the black bars being too thick with the caveat that I think it’s fine to have thick black lines separating the character from the background but they should be much thinner when delineating parts of the same body and the line thickness should be generally consistent in either case. One suggestion I have is to only use solid black for the main outline or to highlight important features such as on the face and to instead use a dark version of the base color for the thinner interbody lines (Sort of like what you do with her hair). This also sometimes has the effect of better communicating which part of the body is overtop of which if they’re different colors (Not really applicable when dealing with mostly naked characters but…). I’ll post a quick edit I made of your picture to hopefully better show what I mean.
I filled in the diagonal gaps in the outer outline and thinned out and recolored the internal lines. I also removed some of the outlines at the top of the right boob to make it look more connected to her body and removed the black outlines from under her eyes because I personally found them distracting.
Also also her belly is doing a weird thing on her right side where it looks like the lower belly fold is being grabbed lifted up to her breast by an invisible hand.
Other than that, I think you’re doing great. The background looks shoddy and simplistic but I’m pretty sure that’s not where the attention is going to be focused at anyway.
