Now, unless it's your intention to keep a limited palette, I'd suggestion changing the hair to brown. Also, maybe make the nose more like the one Waluigi actually has.
I used the black hair in order to keep the palette low, but I'd change it if the brown hair looks better, justifying adding to the palette.
I thought the nose was right but I guess not.

do you use a tablet? on a similar note do you draw on paper? just in general.
Unfortunately I don't have a tablet or anything, so I just draw pixel by pixel. As for drawing on paper, I don't do it often. Though I did use Filpnote much
I did focus more on the shading here to try to get a better grip on it, but I think the line art mostly got mixed up I as tried changing Waluigi's angle slightly. Looking back, it's most evident on the cap to me

In all honesty giving clear criticism is one of the best things you can do to an artist trying learn. I do take any criticism I get directly and try to improve with it. Back when I was on tVGR regularly they used do that all the time, but now not as much these days due to the forum kinda dying, but that is a different story.
Though not as necessary, but more rare and actually different from praise is someone telling you what you're doing
right. Not in the simple "this looks good keep it up" type of way but actually describing what things are going in the right direction(provided something is of course). There was also a
few ways of doing things in earlier art that I dropped and I would much later realize was better than what I replaced them with. Not saying it should be a requirement or standard, plus it should be properly balanced with criticism as well, but it directly helps build confidence in improving.
