This is really good! You've been improving a lot recently and this critique is just a few things I've noticed, so take it all with a grain of salt.
First, I really like the shading and it gives a nice warm feel to the drawing! However, it seems the tiniest bit flat, and the light source isn't super clear and it seems like you just randomly shaded wherever. Try drawing a little sun in the corner of the page (that you can erase later) to help. The waist is pretty thin, but a lot of cartoony art styles have thin waists like that so it's fine. Next, the pose isn't super dynamic or interesting. It's not too much of a problem, but maybe you could try experimenting with your poses in the future! The hairstyle is really cute but I think that it doesn't have that much detail in it. Remember, when adding detail lines, it also affects the outline of the entire silhouette (idk if that made sense, sorry, I'm bad at explaining things).
The head shape looks a little funny but that's just a small nitpick.

Overall, I really like this but there is also room for improvement!

(sorry if this critique was a mess)
