Alright, first off, the contrast between her skin tone and the rest of the colour pallet is godly. The only problem I have with the colours is that the dark blue on the clouds feels a bit awkward and clashes with some other shades in the piece.

What I really have a problem with is the face- her expression is really cute but the placement of her facial features is really off. Use. A. Referance !!!! If you feel insecure about anatomy and aren't sure if you drew it right- find a referance that you think will help guide you to understanding anatomy and drawing your character correctly. I seriously cannot stress this enough. Referances are so so so important.

I also noticed that you mixed a few different angles which is why some of the details don't make sense. The shadows of her curls on her forehead are sooo cute and I really love the effort you put into the details. But- her whole head feels really off given the angle of her body. I encourage you that you continue practicing different angles because they usually enhance the piece even more. But as I said earlier- you MUST use a referance.

The shaping of the clouds is kind of messy and over-blended but I can see that you're kind of getting a hang of it. Same goes for the shading in the sky- above the sun. It's not very noticable but it looks awkward.

Recommendations:

- add more radiance and light to the sun, it'll look a lot more bright and sunny

- same goes for the rays of light

- I noticed the tiny stars/freckles of light on the piece, add more of them :DDD

- watch out for light reflections on her golden accessories

Overall the piece is really pleasing to the eye and I like it a lot. It's really creative and it kind of inspired me. Keep up the good work! :DDD<3 We're proud of you!!!
