Its lovely. The thing I would look to improve is the dynamism of her motion. Your drawing style lends itself to sweeping gesture, so play it up for good effect

Love the feeling in this piece - it's clean, simple, and strangely nostalgic.
The colors are great, too.
Nice job!

she looks awesome, I love the mood of it! Indeed, her feet are small, but probably that's part of your style. Absolutely love the background and colours, especially appreciated when I struggle with them soo much!

Beautiful background. I love the way it's there, without crowding the picture too much. However, to bring the subject our more I would add a little more detail.
And by portfolio, would you mean AP art?

AP art? xD
I dont really know what it means, in french we say portfolio
thank you!

OH! I meant your portfolio for AP studio art, which is a class. It means Advanced Placement Studio Art. Basically, you take it in highschool, and if your portfolio gets a high enough grade, you can get college credits for the class.

Oh, I see!
Well no it's not for AP. I'm going to try submitting it to different children book publishers. let's hope someone hires me xD

I really like the way you croped that image on paper and your colourig style

Ah, this is a really great picture. I really like that you didn't skimp on the background, and that it fits well with the girl. Your coloring is so soft, but emotive. I feel very calm looking at this. Also, your girl is lovely. I love her face and the color you chose for her skin.
As for critique, there are a few things you could improve on. First, as you said, her feet. They don't really match. Also, her ankle area should be a bit bigger than her wrist. Also, joints. Joints are nice. If you can incorporate them into your style, fantastic, but it does work as is.
Speaking of joints, her right hand holding the cello (or is it another instrument?) looks iffy. It seems she has all her fingers there. Where is her thumb? Unless I'm looking at it wrong... Regardless, fix that and you're golden.
My last recommendation would be to add a bit more contrast. While I love how soft it is, some darker shadows, say, on the mountains or in the foliage behind her would work well. Speaking of said green stuff, more detail there would be nice.
But no worries, this is a strong piece. If the rest of your portfolio resembles this, it'll be great.

I'm extremely flattered that you took the time to give such a complete critique. I know I am struggling with the contrast a whole lot, but I am working on it!
Thank you a thousand times

You want something you should improve???
Well, you could define the fingers and the toes more.
Other than that, the piece is just beautiful!
Great job!

I wish I could comment more constructively, but I don't know anything about this style - and I think the only person you should take advice from, is yourself. You're proud of this. Then this is the standard for you, and if you don't see anything that should be improved, then it's perfect. I think it's pretty cute and well carried out, with a sweet style and a caring technique

I love the feel of this. The style reminds me of the sketches Miyazaki does for his movies.

Nice. I like the vignette composition. The only criticism I have is that I might have carried the bottom part of the composition over a little more to the left but that's me. It's perfectly fine as it is if that how you like it.

I agree, when I finished it, I realized it should have been to the left more..
