Oh goodness, yet another original character. Minus the Digimon in the corner. And yes, I'm one of those people that leave the computer for hours. But is that really a good excuse? No, not really.

I really think this would be more appropriately placed in the "Beginner" section, but as the canvas is too large, I cannot. D: My apologies, everyone.

This is really cute. :) It is obvious you put effort into this, - I don't really see it being a problem up here on this board. The people who do not belong on intermediate are the ones throwing out shitty anime drawings that took them 5 minutes. The colouring scheme is really very nice. I like the muted lavender in combination with the character's colours. However, I have some qualms with her anatomy - her feet should be as long as the space between her wrist and the crook (bend) of her elbow. Right now they're very tiny, and I'd be surprised if she could walk on them at all. :) Also, with the way the blue armband is arranged, her arm looks like it... o_o;; does something odd around her wrist. It doesn't stay straight. Sometimes (and I always try to do this when I'm thinking) - it helps to draw the figure, then the clothing, which I see you sort of did, but remember that the human body has definition as a collection of shapes. You achieved that really well on the belt, but it feels like you got a little bored on the smaller details.

I personally would like to see more definition of lineart and dynamic contrast in the shading, but trust me, that's something everyone's working on, so you're off to a good start. :)

Thank you so much for the detailed crit <3 It really does help.

I didn't notice the other issues until you stated them, except for the feet (I noticed, but admittedly got lazy D: ). The next time I draw Kimi, and while drawing in general, I'll be sure to keep everything you've said in mind.

Thanks ~! <3
