I realize it isn't exactly 'manga' but it follows similar principles. Big eyes, big head, lots of hair, etc.

Anyone want to help me out? I realize the lines are shaky, (It's what you get from outlining with a mouse, lol) but is there anything I need to improve on besides that?

I like your style! It looks pretty unique, and don't worry, all art styles out there are welcomed in this guild, as long as the artist is willing to learn. 3nodding

You have a nice S-curve going through this drawing, which gives it a more natural feeling. However, her arms lack that "natural" feeling and appear very stiff. Keep the natural curves of the body in mind while you draw the arms of this character, so that it too can flow with the rest. My suggestion is to curve the arms a little and make her wrists a little closer to her body instead of jutting out in space like so.

This looks amazing for mouse-work, by the way. Try coloring it!
