It appears as though your method of drawing resides with creating an outline first. I bet you don't draw fluidly. I would assume you do areas that interest you first, and then your hand moves to a new spot. Kinda wherever it feels like going ...
Use shapes to define your character. It looks like you tried to draw the cape all in one movement. Use flowing lines to develop a base, and reconstruct from there.
Good though, no doubt. It's workable. I've seen hellish worse.
