I'm sorry to say this, but "That's very nice I like it^__^" for a beginner artist is not really appropriate. She's not a little kid anymore you can make a critic!
Now, before I begin. I want to specify that I'm not, in any way, trying to crush your hopes. I'm making a critic to point out all your flaws, then you will be able to work on them, so if I sound mean, I'm not!
I looked at all your arts and the same flaws comes in all of your drawing so to improve your overall skills you will be able to take this one.
First of all, I noticed that you catched the overall face pretty well, the eyes, the mouth and the nose it's good, but it still need a little practice on the eyes to make both look the same. What I would suggest for this is that you start by making a circle that will act as the center. then you make the lines of the eye around the circle and then add the reflect to the circle of the eye. You can add the eyelashes afterward. do the same for both eyes and try to make them a equal as possible because one of your eye is a little bit off.
Comes next is the head. it's disproportioned. you surely heard of the oval technique to make a head right? Starting by a circle the add one vertical line to centerize de circle then an horizontal one for the nose level? well this is a great trick, even though it sounds boring to do if you do it you'll make a head of good proportion, this seems long to do but with time you'll gain speed at doing it. from this circle just add the lines on the side for the cheeks and link them together at the chin level to complete the face. For each characters try to make diferent face shapes so that they don't look the same, that goes for the nose, the mouth and the eyes as well, and the hairs too.
As for the hairs. there's no problem with them but the look too plain, add some details like separation line and some spikeness to them.
Then the other thing is the absence of ears. A human being, as you, know, has ears, just draw them unless the are covered by hairs, however, on this piece it doesn't look like the hairs hides them.
Then comes the body. on this one too you need to start off with a base of some sort. I use the skeleton technique, I draw a skeleton, (not a detailed one, just a base of lines to determine the proportion of the whole body)Then I draw the body around it and erase the skeleton, then I draw the clothes around the body and erase the naked areas of the body. after that I add the details. the only way to get your proportions right is to start off with a base. drawing the whole body right off the bat when you are a rookie drawer will only end up with huge disproportions, I know it I was doing the same in my first times as a drawer. When you'll have many years of experience then you'll be able to draw your whole body from scratch but even there many experienced and proffesional artists still draw a base before. because drawing the whole body from scratch is risky for the final result.
On this piece the character is female. Female characters has larger hips. However, this girl has no hips. Don't forget to draw the hips for a girls. guys has a small limitation between the hips and the upper body but not that much to notice them. The bust on this piece is oversized and not shaped right. the arms are also too short. normally the hands should stop at the level of the "crotch".
For the Background and clothes, I cannot help you much on this one, it will just come with practice.
That's all for my critic, I hope this will help you.
