She's crossing her legs, in a way that can only mean "lets see how far I can cross my legs while standing up".
Her front foot doesn't seem to be making any meanigful sort of contact with the ground, no ankle rotation or anything like that, but that problem really stems from her entire body position.
Her Head, shoulders hips and legs each seem to be doing something different, and her shirt buttons make not sense at the top, there are buttons coming through, yes, but the way the shirt sits at the neck doesn't show one side of the shirt going over the other.
Also Isabelle has an "A"
BUT!
Your colouring is really quite nice. It threw me at first, but has somewhere to go. The proportions are pretty good, a bit squarish in the body shapes, but good, that's probably why I can pick it apart, uncanny valley and all that. Her right hand looks good too. That is not an angle I see often, and you pulled it off well.
I'll start off with some things I like:
I think that the tattoos are a pretty nice addition
The belt and the pouches, and the rest of her outfit - not the design so much, but the fact that she actually looks as if she's wearing them.
Some problems I can see:
Her head is really, really big.
Her facial features are really flat and not particularly interesting.
Her gesture is...kinda weird. What is she doing exactly? Drunkenly stumbling about?
Her feet do not look like feet. I would suggest drawing some feet.
The character does not seem to be subjected to any discernible light source. I see some sparse shadows, but no real highlights.
Anatomically, there are parts of her that don't make a lot of sense. Specifically I mean the curve of her thighs and the manner in which they seem to be connected to her lower legs.
There are way too many buttons on her vest.
You've overused textures to the point that the character has to fight for her position as the focal point of the picture.
and to add to that, a lot of the time the textures themselves are fighting against form and flattening out the character. I mean, I think without the textures it would be quite flat anyway - it's admittedly hard to tell, but it looks like there are almost no form shadows except around her boobs (and the cast shadow on the ground is weirdly shaped and makes no sense with the lighting) - but on the glove and the front foot, for example, the textures are going against the contour grain and removing any three dimensionality that might have been present.
I was trying to go for a cartoonish stylisd look which i never do, but i kinda got out of control on pose, proportion, shading(over doing it in place, under doing it in others), and the background is a bit much.
Il try again with a diffrent pose, thanx

I like the drawing nonetheless.
Also, a minor crit, I think the right hand should either have a different finger pose or be holding some type of item or firearm. That's just me though.
