Okay, let me write you a critique for this since you want to improve your art. To start with, I can't give you a high rating for 'Originality' because:
- Its a Sonic fan character
- Fan art
- And (not trying to be offensive towards the owner of this character) it DOES look like every other Sonic fan character I see.

Okay lets get started!

Drawing/anatomy

WELLLLLLLL....We can't say much for anatomy because its a 'Bust' picture but there are some things I can say about the drawing (Its NOT about the shading, lineart, etc. I'll get to that soon)
The hair, ears and clothes seem to be drawn well. I do have some things I would like to point out with anatomy. One eye is smaller then the other, and it is either the arm that doesn't look like it is joined to the body OR that her breasts are too wide apart. Even though this has something more to do with the lineart, but this is part of the drawing too. I see where you tried to give it that 'faded in' lineart look, but to be absolutely honest with that it DOES look like most of the mouth has disappeared or missing.

What to improve?:

Since it's a 'Bust' picture, I can't really help you too much...BUT....Try to study the anatomy of the female torso and the positioning of the face. I suggest looking at tutorials or images of the human body and OBSERVE the images carefully in detail. Maybe use images of anatomy for a reference for a while until you feel like you achieved that sort of anatomy. It was either lack of experience in knowing face positioning or that you rushed it, either way, study the eye positioning and view points of the eyes (The lineart for the mouth I'll explain in the next section)

Lineart:

I can say that the lineart looks very simple and clean, but I also see it that it has corners where the colours are missing (look at the right cheek and the corner of the right eye to see what I mean) I also see where the line are overlaps the colouring areas (Look at the hair, scarf and especially the nose for a good example), which makes it look rushed. Okay, I will mention the mouth part in the 'What to improve?' section

What to improve?

Take your time with lineart. Always keep an eye out for those very pointy corners of your lineart . Improve making the fading effects for your lineart. I don't know exactly what program you are using (SAI by the looks of it because of the 'Vector' ART style) but either make the brush a little bit softer, OR (if using SAI) Use the 'pressure' tool. It'll help give you good results of those 'fade out/in' lineart style.

Shading:
(I'll probably point out improvements while typing this, I got lazy-butt syndrome)

Shading is very soft and colour contrasted. It looks good, considering you were being taught by your friend, but do be aware of how dark your shading is. If you was to have lineart, like you have, I suggest lighter shading tones as it can blend in too much with the lineart. I feel the light source is all over the place, which can be confusing to where the shading should go. There NEEDS to be a specific light source for every shading you do i.e. having the light source in the top,right corner, you will need to draw the shading going away from the light and the light shading going towards the light source. To make the things in the picture look bolder, I suggest making the tones smaller and darker. The hair strand on the left and the body standing in front of the hair is a great example for that. It makes it look more '3D'. I feel the light dots aren't really necessary and it makes the picture look too 'busy' and it is distracting my attention from the actual drawing itself. It is pretty, yes, but not necessary unless it is something 'shiny'. I notice the natural blushing on the cheeks too. I feel it is too contrasted and too bold of a pink. I suggest blending it in with the skin tone more.

OVERALL:
I think it is a good style to work with, try to give yourself more time when drawing and study the 'painting' shading technique, light sources, anatomy of the torso and face positioning.
I hope this critique helps you <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
