It's a tricky and unforgiving medium, but you have a good feel for value and hue. The only thing to watch is over-mixing the paint. Water color gets muddy when you mix too much or go over painted areas.
Another thing - when you work in color, it can be more effective to put in dark edges in a dark color other than black, say ultra-marine blue, veridian green, or their combination. This sets up vibrations with the surrounding colors, unlike using black (which just sits there, drawing attention to itself).
A spot or two more of detail bright color in the dark area(s) would finish this nicely. You have something of the sort with the white that you left around the buckle - a nice touch - and the orange scarf - but one lacks color and the other is too broad an area to count as detail.

thanks again for the tips sir! i was thinking of not using ink in the lines of the next one. maybe i can use colored pencils for the lineart instead?

Why not? Go for it!
Or why not actually make your edges as a painter does, without lines, by contrasting and blending color?
Experiment.
