Save the Hen Witch!

General
At the later half of this year some of you may have noticed I was quite enamoured with my hen witch Liz. I like the idea of modernising the witch concept and honestly I might try and look more into various imagery I can draw and broaden upon.
When I look back at the recent pictures of her I am happy with some elements, I am happy with the themes of a witch in a modern age though I could make that more apparent as some pictures you cannot even tell it is modern. The colouring is also something I am quite happy with and I look forward to perfecting as time goes on.
My main concern so far is that the inking and line-work for me doesn't feel alive, for some pictures they feel rigid and at worse even dead. I recall someone mentioned to me that it might be a good idea for me to add some more expressive emotions to her as I must admit her facial expressions has been pretty limited so far. Still, is there anything else that could improve my inking and line-work? I appreciate anything that is said and maybe I can implement in the next picture I will draw of her.
Also, don't be afraid to pick out something even if you don't think you are good at critique, look at other artists styles and compare, maybe take something from real life. I appreciate every single one of your opinions and thoughts.

FA+

Though, the body posture does say a lot for expressions as well, though I imagine its a lot harder for some characters
She is a sight to see btw, and i hope you dont stop drawing her.
Honestly I do love the character and always love to see more about her.
