My thought energy only looks like this on Friday nights.. its all black and gray on weekdays

My advice is to try more contrast and colours. Take a close look at skin, there are all sorts of colours in it, depending on where the light is coming from, oranges, pinks, purpley and reddy colours. Try really exaggerating these to start, and then gradually toning them down until they look natural. Also, make your shadows and highlights really stand out! This will help to give your drawing the feel of being a real object, with form and mass. Try working from a mirror or photo reference, but instead of drawing wht you expect the shapes to look like, really LOOK at it, try to understand WHY the shadows are here, highlights there. Touching an actual face can help, feel up your own face, poke around to find where the bones are, where the slopes are, what moves where when you smile or frown. If you can find a willing volunteer, feel their face as they make different expressions and watch how the shadows move. This sounds kind of awkward, but I find it's one of the most helpful things when I'm stuck with a painting. Also, it seems you've chosen really grey colours for your shadows and highlights. This makes your lady look a bit dead, I would try some more saturated colours to give her a little more life.

This is pretty good :)
I would have liked to see a bit more contrast in the skin tones, but I think you did a good job.

Hi there. ^^ Welcome to the board, Diinee. This is really cute, and the coloring is off to a good start. Your lineart could really use some attention - I understand you're working with a mouse, but half an hour's work on cleaning up the sketchyness will add definition and solidity to the drawing. I love love love the eyes! They're extremely bright and uh, er, eyecatching? You're right on the proportions, even for this style - she's very strangely put together. Try adding more space and roundness to the area around her ribcage in her torso. Her hand is good, but the way her left arm is bent is pretty much impossible. Try looking at a friend do the pose you had in mind for this girl, and then see how the arm falls in relation to the rest of the body. The colouring on the hair is great in terms of value and contrast - but it could use to be a little smoother, especially with the harshness of the dark lines in the hair. Also, watch where her collarbones lie in relation to the rest of the body - you'll find if you look at yourself in a mirror (if you're a girl) - that your collarbones are going to be more straight across, rather than angled. You have them drawn as if you would draw a man's. Another further addition - shadows on white are blue, not grey, unless you're aiming to make that white part silver, and even then - still add in a little blue.

You're off to a good start! Keep drawing and experimenting and welcome to 2draw! <3
