First off, I really like the atmosphere of this picture. She looks very sweet and wistful, which I think if what you were going for. I think adding a bit more the the background wouldn't hurt the overall attitude of the picture. The character I think is also nicely drawn. I peeked at some of you other pictures and I think it looks like you've found a good style for how you draw faces- they seem consistent and fairly polished. You anatomy also looks pretty good, but I think you could stand to increase the definition around things like feet and hands. Also, I think you should try to consider the character's center of balance when you draw Right now her center of balance is leaned a bit to the right (hers, not mine), and it makes the pose seem a bit less natural. When I draw pictures I try to copy the pose myself and see where it feels like I'm holding my weight, which helps me try to replicate it in my picture. I think her pose is very appropriate to the picture, though. She looks like a sweet, blushing maiden. =) Her clothes I think you did better than I could, I'm terrible at clothes. xD Your coloring I also think is very nice, but I have one important suggestion: invest in a good copic-proof pen. I know form personal experience that both pencil lines AND ball-point pen are not copic proof. Even if you haven't had a lot of problems with it before, one day you will. Graphite especially will smudge and turn your colors darker than they normally would and give it a muddy look. Copics are alcohol based markers and they are VERY picky about what you color with them. A few things I know of that are copic proof would be: printer toner(so copying your picture and then coloring the copy should be okay), sakura micron pens (I have heard of people having trouble with these, but I used them for years with no trouble), copic multiliners (these are very nice, but expensive), or faber-castell ink pens (my experience with these is limited, but successful). I really think that investing in a good pen would help take your marker work to the next level and give it a lot of clarity.

Good luck! =)
