Getting turns getting squeezed

I think I found a good way of inking in this picture that I've never tried before but that works rather well. Basically I use a fine brush to do all the lines in the drawing, then I go back with a thicker brush to define the main shapes and reinforce the design overall. This is relatively fast and looks pretty good for the time it takes, but it also flattens the picture a lot so it requires extra care in designing the pose in an impactful way.
The problem with this pic is mostly with the coloring, it feels kinda weak and uninspired and cold. Designing colors is probably one of my biggest sticking points so it is something that I'd like to focus more soon. As you can see in the last pic before the final one I tried adding some warmth to the colors by breaking up the big cold shapes, but it's still patched up and could be much better. In general I feel like in art it's very hard to fix things once the main design is settled, so it's important to get the first design as solid as possible.
In terms of content for the illustration, I like the idea, since it's sexy, a little spicy but not outright pornographic and still a little cute, which is actually a very hard balance to hit. I would like to hit this kind of balance more in the future for my pinup illustration.
Starting from today I will also be trying to do timelapses on top of process pictures since a few people asked for them, will see how it goes.
