This picture is ADORABLE! I love the choppy, colorful little grungy bits and pieces you put around her.
As the other commenter said, her arms are much too short. The best way to avoid out-of-proportion arms is to remember that the elbow matches up with the waistline, and also the wrist matches up with the crotchline. These guidelines, of course, are derived from the "proportionally ideal" human, but they are most often correct!
Anyway. I am really digging the way you used pattern to make this so stylized and unique! I also love how she looks so confused by it all.. haha. And the way she is standing all pigeon-toed is adorable. I love the small details you have added here and there, like on the edge of her dress.
The only other suggestion I really have for you is to practice hands. They are one of the weaker points of this picture.. of course, hands are super hard. X_x So all I can say is practice practice practice!
Also you might try to experiment with the thickness of your lines more. They look fine the way they do in this picture, of course, but sometimes weighted lines add some extra depth to a drawing. Generally, as I was taught, weighted lines are most interesting when they are thicker at the waist, apex of the bust, knees, ankles, wrists, shoulders and chin and thinner down the length of the legs and arms and torso. Like I said, it's not really something this picture NEEDS but it wouldn't look bad, either, and might be fun.
I dunno, this picture is so good I guess I don't really have so many suggestions for how it could be improved! So I just kinda threw that in there for fun. Yay! Anyway, awesome, eye-catching, highly original, yet simple work. Awesome job!!
