What method are you supposed to use when you want to analyze someone's color choices? I'm not talking about the light, or shadows, or values, but specifically the color gamut, saturation, and hue.

How to make flat chibi art look less cheap/stiff?

First digital piece. Looking for critique on lineart and flat colors. Is the uniform black outline making it feel stiff, or is the main issue a lack of value contrast and form? Poses referenced from a pose book.
