Remove the black lines in her hair, looks very cheap!

well, first thing i thought was that shading of hair and face don't fit in terms of lightsource (hair: topdown, face: from somewhere on the left)

the shading of the hair itself is pretty cheap, you should not only fill the lineart with something straight 'shaded', rather than that you should use the shading to give some shape to the hairs / separate the hairs (or better straids of hair) from each other..

the face: deffo lacks of contrast. i know, that, especially if ppl are new to that field, they're quite sheepish in adding considerably darker colors, but thats the only way to create volume, trust me =).. it also proved well in the past to not dither faces that much

Thanks a lot for the tips. I just started experimenting dithering, so I don't really know what I'm doing most of the time, but I'll try doing what you said. Thanks again

Haha, I knew exactly who it was when I saw the preview. I love Zooey.

Anyway, the hair is too line-y. Those black, jagged outlines aren't so wonderful-looking. Also, your dithering methods don't work too well. You keep alternating between 50% dithering and solid colors, whereas you ought to be applying more gradual transitions with varying levels of dithering. Lastly, you need more contrast in your skin tones. She looks too pale. Put some saturation in there. Shift some hues around so you're not merely transitioning from grey-brown straight to white. That's not how skin works.

Don't sell yourself short!

When I saw the preview I said "hey that looks like Trillian!"

The hair could use a little work though :)
