I get helpful advice every now and then and I like it when people redline my stuff.

Back again, I see you constructed now.
>How am I supposed to make a drawing not look flat without shading or colors though?
I think the best ideas you can have is to add stronger line weight overall. Thicker lines can function as a "pseudo-shading" giving the sense of ambient occlusion.For example the lower side of the boobs can be thicker than the upper side. Even on the nipples you can just leave the upper half of the nipple off and it will still read. Same goes fro the crotch area or the armpits.

Crossing lines more, crossing line can give the feeling one thing being behind another thing especially if they are also using line weight. Like how you did at the elbow, neck, hair etc. done well will make the picture read better.

Better details in general, I know this is a meme advice. But providing attention to some subtle but important details can enhance the lineart but also to avoid unnecessary detail. This is a pet peeve of mine but every time I see someone have weak details around the crotch but a detailed pussy I get frustrated, the pussy is a minor detail around the otherwise complex form of the pelvis which can convey the feeling of a woman way better. There is no cruical need to put the pussy there anyways, everyone knows it is there, they are not stupid. It is a detail one does not really need unless it is a straight close up on it.
What I am getting at is "detail for detail's sake" isn't needed, the less cam certainly be more if you are putting it at the right places.

I know lineart can be scary as it is not the easiest thing, I encourage you to go in bravely. Lineart is messy and fiddly but it can also be a very powerful tool, I don't know if you are having doubts about your work and abilities or not (as we all do). I say try to do the line work with vigor. Maybe try using ink too? Ink is terrifying at first but it can help you improve tremendously I know it from experience after my art teacher kept kicking my ass to switch to ink already.
