Get this book, "The Art Of Comic Book Inking."

Also, look into Andrew Loomis' book "Figure Drawing For All It's Worth."

Such things as her forearm/arm/shoulder is too 'balloon-like' and does not indicate the skeletal and muscle system below. The knee wrinkles are also not indicative of the knee structure below.

Also: Always, always look at your work in a mirror. Many times artists see things only one way and oddities are hidden from their perspectives. (Much like a writer proofreading his own work; mistakes will be missed.)

Looking at the work in a mirror allows the artist to see the work differently and opposite, which reveals any manner of mistakes and disproportion.

Since this is typed, it will come across as harsher than intended. Also I'd suggest investigating buying a brush for your ink lines: (Raphael Kolinsky series 7 #2) which was a basic brush used by Bernie Wrightson and, sometimes, Dave Stevens among others.

Copy your favorite artists and try to figure out what they did and why. You can check this book also https://www.amazon.com/Art-Comic-Book-Inking-2nd/dp/1593074050

This is far from professional, but it's still finished page. Keep it up.

Really any one source won't do much because you want to find something that suits you. One book I did enjoy was more in line with a classic western style and helped get me started was "The Art of Comic Book Inking" by Gary Martin which was very good and taught me a lot. The next thing that really influenced me was reading the One Punch Man manga. The artist behind that is phenomenal and I spend the whole time drooling over his linework and blocking. I picked up a lot by studying that as well. But basically I would say check out this book and then find an artist that really speaks to your style and study how they do it. Really look closely at how they put down lines
