Let's see...
Well, the face is a bit long for a girl, so you should lower the eyes a bit (smaller, rounder faces are also more "cute").
I think the left shoulder is a bit to high up, which makes the pose seem crammed. Try to draw the hands by using the best example possible: your own. It will help you out GREATLY after a while. Maybe the right leg should be put a bit closer to the left one in order to make the figure seem more balanced. The feet should be drawn more from the front. Right now she gives the appearance of floating in the air.

A general note about the shading: Try drawing a lightsource (as a dot or circle) on your paper (or slightly beyond it), and draw the shading away from the lightsource. And don't be afraid to use darker shades, it will give the image a more dramatic look.

Stick with it and keep practicing
