Howdy!  Here from Project Comment.  Cute stuff!  I took a look at your gallery to try and understand your style, so I could say something toward helping you build on that.

Nice balance between the pose and environment.  This looks line your first go at drawing a tree and other background, so a good start.  It looks like you were trying for some perspective with the squarish island and the top of the tree, so some thought -- Where is the eye line?  That is, how high is the viewer?  If you are eye to eye, you'll see the tops of their feet, and not the top of a stovepipe hat.  If you're knee high, you'll be looking up their nose and under their chin unless the head is tilted down.  This assumes everything is square on and vertical.  Above, we're looking down on the (level?) grass, but also down at the top of the tree, so our eye line is above her head and above the tree.  OK, we're a bird looking at the scene.  Is this what you wanted?  That's ok -- just checking.

Construction.  You're other drawing show a consistent style with this character, so no issues there.  You might want to decide on how you want to draw feet.  Pointy toe or stub/square toes?  Your call.  Leg overlap is good for the pose, but ankles might be off. One thin, one thick.  Plenty ways to work this according to your style, just work with it.  The little hands are just fine, though the left side arm looks a bit short.

I like the way you have a simple shine on hair and leaves to show light source.  As you develop your character model and methods, consider adding a shadow shade for a little more 3D, if that's where you want to go.  From your gallery, Rebaka-Chan Fanart looks like your most developed piece, so there you go. 

However you decide to go with this, being consistent with your character design artifacts - the little bits like the square shiny pupils, fingers and toes, the way you curl/point hair, etc. - will establish your style.  Keep going!

Thank You So Much For The Critique. I'll Try To Keep The Perspective Part In Mind The Next Time I Draw A Character With A Background. I Have Decided On How I Will Draw Feet (Triangular And Pointed)
I'm Glad You Looked At My Other Work As Well ^w^
I Hope You Have An Amazing Day.

Heyyyyyy
I’m from Project Comment and I’d like to to critique your drawing... I don’t know how to start this.

Anyway, I really like the line work here. I think my favorite part is the tree! However, the island is a bit too square-like. Islands are usually more round and uneven. Also, the face of the figure looks kinda weird. I think it’s because the eyes are not really where the face is supposed to be. Other than that, she looks like she’s about to tip over. Just observe how people normally stand, you’ll get the hang of it. I’m still terrible at legs and feet myself, it takes some time to get used to it. There are some other small anatomy problems like how the thickness of the right legs seems to become thinner when coming down but the other leg stays consistent. To end on a positive note, the colours you chose are very pretty!

Thankies For The Critique! The Patch Of Ground Is Meant To Be Square, But If I Ever Draw A More Natural Island I'll Keep Your Comment In Mind. I Still Don't Have The Best Grasp On Anatomy But I'll Keep Practicing.
I Hope You Have An Amazing Day. ^w^
