Want some tea?

AA very beautiful piece of work <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> The outfit is very cute, and the setting where this picture is taking place is well done. <though it needs to be a bit polished.
The errors I see are body structures, shading, coloring, and clothing. Though the positon this girl is in is cute, the placement of arms and the way they are drawn are a bit odd. (as well as the legs) The upper body is off as well. Work on getting the shapes of a girl correct, like calves, forearms, hands, breasts shoulders, feet, etc. This applies for boys as well. (except for breasts for course, hehe >_>) The arms are too long, and she looks awkward holding the cup.
The attempt in shading went pretty well, but using marker (or whatever) just for shading makes the drawing look odd.Use the same (colored pencil?) and press harder to create a darker shade of the same color. It will make it look less odd <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
I believe the color palate is plain, and the wrinkles in the clothing arent really there *except the skirt* The bow in the back should flow more to give a dramatic effect.
I hope you dont get discouraged by this <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> I SEE A GREAT SKILL IN YOU, if you practice real hard for the next months, years, I assure you, you will excell higher than before. I have learned this myself. I just repeat this in my mind every day: "KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH!" And if you already know this, Im proud of you. I will see you in the future! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
