I'm not going to write a lot...
But first off the hands are a bit small.
I also think the forehead but just need to be a bit bigger... As in longer.
Posemaniacs.com is a great website for drawing seperate parts of the body, eg. hands, and the angle and everything you could decide on your own, so I find it really helpful. (:
I think the shape of her neck might be... a bit awkward.
Maybe try making the difference of width between the very top and the bottom of the neck less?
I love the flow of her hair though.
And I believe you're going to make it look like she's holding some ball of elemental stuff or whatever? P:
And her face looks mystifying. I like it. ;D

=wasn't that much of a help= xDDD
I would draw over it if I had time. :]

its a good sketch but not much to critique. However the hands are off they are too small and a bit awkwardly placed. Try to looking at your own hands to see how they would bend. Or google some images or make a friend hold their hands in that position to see how they would be.

Darkest Revolution:thanks for pointing out those details,especially the neck,seems that i've been doing it a bit in a wrong way til now xP
and fyi o 3o that's supposed to be our oh so popular memphis with a string of shiny pebbles in a shape of a heart C:
Bubblegum_Paint:bah posemaniacs barely load for me.or if they load they lag on the first hand that they show ._.

If previous advice on her hands has confused you, then keep this in mind: A hand should be able to cover half of the face, length- and width-wise. Gimme a few and I'll see if I can't whip up a quick redline for ya, oki-doke? :3

Edit: Here's the redline I promised. I'm no expert with humanoids, but I love drawing hands. xD I'm weird...
Anyway, I hope this helps illustrate my point. Hands are generally about the same length, wrist-to-tip-of-middle-finger, as the face, from chin-to-hairline or roundabouts.

Ah Yess.
The arm is a bit long.
Just try making it a bit shorter.
Plus, personally i think the back of the hand should show more.
I also think the area around her belly before the tail starts should be a bit wider, since it's pretty close to the hips and women have wider hips in general. The skinniest part of her body should be hidden by the arms already, so if you made the area underneath it really skinny it seems that she either has no shape or that her waist is a bit too tiny.

I promise I won't critique anymore. x"D
-don't know why i decided to critique in 2 differnet posts... Lmfao- (:

Eizoryu:Thanks a lot,i never got what the heck was up with the hands,i hate drawing them,and i can't draw them properly even if it cost me my life D<
Darkest Revolution:upper arm or forearm?ಠ_ಠ and thanks for the tip on the hips ^^ reading it was kinda embarrasing me being a girl and not knowing my own anatomy sweatdrop

i agree with alot of the people that have posted the hands are to small
and it doesnt have very much detail and the head is a not very proportional (its alot bigger on the top than bottom which is supposed to happen but in this its a bit over sized)

I think she looks good in a disney style proportions way, though her hands seems a bit awkward. Don't be afraid to try other poses, test them out in the mirror and see what is comfortable and where your hands end up resting.

Her chin is very thin and pointed to the end. I'd suggest giving her more cheek/face at the bottom.
