Features:
the chest is way too big and not anatomically correct, even for anime. No girl can support that much weight on her chest. and they're not like balloons either. try looking up some pictures of actual breasts (yes i'm actually suggesting that) and then alter them to fit the anime "style".
The waist is waaay too long and the hips are a bit deformed. not to sound like a tumblr artist but try adding like a little bit of body fat so she doesn't look like a skeleton. trust me, it looks so much better.
The arms are also almost like sticks and can't really be seen all that well. I know arms are thin in anime styles but making them just the littlest bit wider can make all the difference.
Essentially, make your girl look healthy! ...and like 15% more realistically proportioned.
The eyes are placed a little low on the face, but that's also a stylistic choice for some people- they like to have eyes lower.
The lines are also really soft and could be hardened or darkened, especially around the outline of the picture. it makes for a stronger piece.
But you do have a good start. I recommend this book for good female anatomy tips that fit the anime and manga style. It's one of my favorite drawing series because it's not just full of step-by-step tutorials, but rather, tips and tricks and stylistic choices.

I hope I was able to give some good feedback at least. You have some wonderful potential.
Overall this is great work, totally serviceable in all regards. Fun design and good use of color. In terms of things to improve on I would say anatomy, perspective and posing. There are countless books that teach that, but Im personally a fan of Micheal Hampton's book. He breaks things down in a very structural and Bridgeman-esque way, but to me is much more readable than Bridgeman's work which for me can be almost stylized beyond understanding. Keep up the good work!
