Really liking your dedication and progress, Pusty! Please keep it up.

I feel like you're not doing much with your clothes. No wrinkles or variation enough.
Seems like her clothes are being treated like a chore, but really they're an opportunity to add in some character and shape.



I also made the hair a little more like the reference (I think, I don't actually know this character).

Hmm yeah I never made something with the clothings because I wasn't sure how to shade it hmm




Edit:
Well I'm very thankful for all your help ^^
I tried to use the things I learned on the first image as well and I think it looks way better

The old one has a very extreme balloon head look. It's like the jaw is completely missing..

edit:



Attempted an edit..
The reference image has a kinda strange jaw shape.. also the face is very long and the hair is pretty straight..

I just can't help but imagine her hair as sausages that she's trying her hardest to take a bite out of  :lol:

I think you should get her left nekomimi a few pixels higher and erase a few pixels from the leftmost forward bang so we can see the left side of her neck... Okay I'll show it, just wait a sec :D

Did it;

Her body is all over the place and kinda wonky. I copied the reference for her pose.



Hands and arms bigger, legs and feet smaller. Her arms, head and right leg make a cross (which is pretty important to get the same pose). Got the ears aligned and did the jaw thing.

Thank you for your edit!
Well like I said I don't like redoing stuff thus this isn't this a complete redraw and not really like the reference.
But as you took your time to make an edit I tried my best to do the same :D
