Hello from ProjectComment ,
I notice something a little unusual on your deviation’s character Akane Nonohara: her mouth. She looks like she has a subtle case of cleft lip, a feature than in manga and anime I have so far only seen in some neko-style characters (especially chibi-rendered nekos). Anything you would like to share with me regarding this cleft-lip design feature?

Hi! I found your piece through 
Wow! This is very cute! You have a warm, bright expression with that touch of mischievous playfulness. You also did an awesome job with many touches that add a lot of depth to the image, including shading and lighting. You're certainly leagues above me in talent
I noticed a couple things that I really had to look for and make sense of to hopefully help you continue to improve. It certainly wasn't easy to find. The first has to do with the shadow of her sweater's drawstring puff ball. You seem to have had a strong sense of your light source's direction when you shaded this, and I can certainly appreciate the mental note you must've made before offsetting the half of the shadow on her dress from the half on her jacket. You were very much in the right thought process, but it is useful to remember the science behind things like light. Because light pretty much travels in a straight line, given the distances between the ball and its two shadows, the shadow on the jacket should probably be more in line with the ball and shadow on her dress. It looks just a tad out of place where it is. If you were to draw a line from the center of the ball to the center of the shadow of it on the dress, and imagine the light travelling from one to the other, it would still intersect her jacket the way you have it, but the two would both be on that line. I do understand that the curves of the jacket will distort this some, but I don't think quite as much.
The next thing I noticed remotely worth mentioning is just final touchup. It's a good practice to scrutinize your own work and look for little imperfections like stray lines or colors. In this case, it's what appears to be some stray coloring and shading that I see. One spot is on her right hand thumb (viewer left). It seems like it's the shading carried over onto her thumb. Similarly, some of the white of her dress found its way onto her leg. These details aren't crucial to a beautiful image, but cleaning up little things like this shows your attention to detail even further, and brings you that much closer to perfection
In the end, though, this is just one more fantastic piece in your growing gallery of beautiful pieces. Keep up the great work!
