Somethings off... Any ideas?
And I know it's small. XD. I resized it to much, but if you can could someone try a red line edit?

It'd be a little difficult to redline a drawing so small. Some things you could fix:

I find it a little odd that the legs are in 3/4ths and the rest of the body is in profile. At first I thought that the leg behind her was raised, but the feet are at the same place, which would make one leg longer than the other.

The limbs also seem a little stiff. Try looking up reference photos of real people with their limbs in those positions, and pay attention to what the muscles are doing under the skin. I think it looks a little stiff right now because you've tried to make everything perfectly symmetrical, whereas in real life there is a small variance. Try drawing in the muscles under the skin to get a feel for which are contracted and which are at rest at different times.

I really like the expression and the spunk you put into the character. It feels like she's a pop singer... I thought she was pretending the staff was a mic. :{)

The legs are meant to be sort spread out, then pointing inward, toward the same place? So that both feet meet in the middle? I wasn't sure how to draw it.

Ah yes, I always have problems with stiffness. When I try to give a character energy, they still look like they're stuck in one spot. I've done alot of Tutorials, but nothing seems to work DX

And Here's a larger version: (I started colouring without thinking... Oh well DX I'll still be able to change the legs)

The right forearm is too long...and the feet need work.

Keep it up. ^^
