Constructive Criticism or Me being a dick, take your pick :3 (hey that rhymes~!)
Personally I don't like vocaloids and think they ruin any song they sing, but it's a nice picture nonetheless. Few pointers though : You're adding some detail that isn't technically wrong, but in anime would give off a vibe that you're not intending. For instance, the facial expression: The wrinkles under the eyes would indicate she is tired, even more so since we can't see the eyebrows ( which is very essential in the actual emotion the expression gives off ) we can conclude that she needs some sleep and I think anyone like me would agree : Save the world 8 hours of horrible singing---Luka's my fav though so I'm not completely a hater Anyways, your shading isn't wrong either, but I would advise that you try to shade more so that the image really "pops" out you know? Add more lights, add more darks, or make the light and dark really distinguishable. Anatomy is a bit off (but it's okay cuz we all suck at it), but other than that a brilliant and creative piece. Keep up the good work.

lol look who's writing the books now! i can see why you don't like vocaloids, but its all good.
The lines under the eyes kind of grew on me so i kept doing it regardless of the effect i created. Personally i don't think you need eyebrows to create a emotional effect. The eyes can tell the "story" of the person if you draw them right. Shading: everyone tells me that even outside of digital art and i get it, but when i do add dark values, it looks wrong to me and not my own personal work. ANATOMY WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME I SWEAR! ITS SO HARD!
