I absolutely love the style you got there, and the coloring is exceptionally vibrant; however, what throws the entire thing off is the perspective of the walkway, as it doesn't "match up" to the angle the girl is standing in, it almost looks like the walkway is going downhill, which doesn't really look right (even if it is intentional).
Amazing work with everything else though, gold star for you.

This looks really nice keep it up but may i say as you look down to her feet it seems as if the background like falls flat it might just be me but yea other than that it looks great keep it up :D

That looks really great, I usually feel like nearly all animeish art looks more or less the same with only a few details that differ but you show off a unique style and your understanding of everything, anatomy, shading, ambiance, etc. is reflected very well here.
There are a few problems though, one of them already being pointed out by Xero. In addition to his thoughts I notice the shadow that the girl is casting is facing the opposite direction. I think this disconnects her from the background, while the perspective could have gone unnoticed the shadow draws out the problem to a point where it is easily visible.

I'm afraid I'll have to object to the understanding of anatomy; there are some mistakes I can point out regarding the body.

-Her shoulders are far too low. If we're assuming that the jacket is thick, then that makes it even lower, to the point where her neck would be ridiculously long.

-Her hips are far too small. That resulted in her legs being terribly anorexic, and giving zero room for her crotch.

-The head looks...somewhat deformed to me. I can't say much because it could be a matter of 'style'

Thanks for the CnC guys! The background for one thing, I knew could have been done better. It was my first time really trying to do some sort of fancy background and I'm still pretty bad with perspective. You guys have also mentioned some points that I didn't really notice until you said them, for example the shoulders being extremely low. There are somethings that could be debatable between being plain wrong, or just stylistic, but for the most part considering the overall style I drew this picture in, I think we can agree that the shoulders and the presumable length of the neck are definitely wrong. I really appreciate having specific problems pointed out and not just compliments~(but I like those too, lol)
Thanks! I'll probably post some future work on here too.
