Well, your cging style is very neatly done. ^_^ You even have the line of motion for her pose going well too.

As for critiques, I think the shoulders look unbalanced and her head may be a bit big for her body.

I suggest making a sort of simplified skeleton thingy first when drawing so proportions can be checked before you add details. It doesn't need to be elaborate. Just enough to have a general idea of where the parts go and how the proportions are in relation to the rest of the body

Just a suggestion but you should work on body proportions because even in manga thier legs arent straight lines that are this far apart | . |

Just when you think your getting anatomy more things come up! sweatdrop xd Actually I do draw a simplified skeleton thing but its probably not an acurate one so not to sure if it helped. Yeah shoulders are a little hard for me to get right since I start right on the head and progress down so it's tricky to figure out if the shoulders are correct! Thanks everyone! I'll have to keep all of this in mind for my future works! Keep them coming! heart

Haha, I had that problem before. So after I draw the head and it doesn't match the skeleton, I redraw the skeleton under the head so they match. It really helped me to draw skeletons in my anatomy class. (I know some of the bone names now.) Aah, I thank the person who donated her skeleton to science. It helps to see how the bones fit. So maybe you could stop by a class with a skeleton model? Doing that by imageination is kinda hard. @_@;

Just keep in mind how the rib cage and clavicles fit. (Pectoral girdle? Or something like that and get an idea of the shoulder placement afterwards.)

Best of luck to ye!

True, studying a real skeleton modle is probably best, thats why I cant wait til I go to the Bradely Academy for Visual Arts for Animation, they have one of those classes! Then I should definitly improve! It is hard learning from only reference books! Thanks!
