What an uncomfortable pose. I hate the loomis meme (even though I'm also working on it myself) but you do need to work on anatomy for sure since her head and shoulders look squished and her neck is too thick as well, especially for old anime. Not to mention how it comes apart even more around her pelvis. It looks like you colored with crayon which even more ruins the aesthetic of old anime while I'd recommend at least using markers if anything, it would have looked a lot better if you made all your coloring marks in the same direction for the first layer and then the opposite direction for the next as that would have looked a look smoother and well blended; coloring in small circles might also produce the same effect too. For actual color choices, while the blue you chose is alright everything else is too muddy, especially the skin and the hair. Both need to be brighter and more saturated. I would have used a nice light and peachy color for the skin and for the hair I would have layered the whole thing with either a light yellow or a red-orange-ish color before going back over with the actual hair color you wanted it to be. The shorts can also just be completely black too. Also don't be afraid to use colored shadows and not just black in the picture too, since lots of old animes also use both. I quickly drew and colored a guide just in case that might have helped more, though it's not fully finished (sorry it's probably also beg tier). Hopefully this wasn't a troll post but if you were serious I hoped this might have helped you.
