Not bad for a start. The ears are odd though, they should be more up and open to the front not down (like in your own avatar) unless she's supposed to be afraid, but her expression doesn't indicate that.
As for a name... Emily? (I had a cat named that when I was a kid.)
Its what came to mind
also anime
thank you, captain constructive
was thinking listening around, but i guess that didn't work out
looked better pre-colour I think
Would be helpful if gafs resident artists were around

That is pretty good for a 10 year lag in drawing and also just breaking in a tablet!
Looks like her name should start with a "Cl--" .. like Claire or Clover or Cleo .. >_> Don't ask me why.
You're friend's Spock comment (besides the blue shirt ad black hair and straight-cut bangs) is also probably influenced by how much forehead space you gave her. Makes her look very... placid?
Hitokage is right in that there seems to be a face/head mismatch. It just doesn't "feel" right.
It probably looked better in black and white because the shading style you chose attempted to make her more 3 dimensional, and when you do that, a lot of new rules have to be applied to get the picture to look convincing.
Sorry for the crude edits to illustrate, but I am only on my laptop with a touchpad right now! I thought showing would be the best way to explain. I tried to keep as much of the integrity of your drawing as possible though.
- You just gave her too much vertical cranium space, I think. That's easily adjusted with an anime art style because you can just make the eyes bigger (25% increase here) and reposition them a bit higher on the face. The brows you gave her were also very weak (weaker/thinner than most of the other lines on her--gives me the feeling of "baldness"), so I thickened them. To take up more cranium real estate, I also raised them higher on her face. Now she kind of looks more awake as a result as well.
- The ears also look like horns/pasted on because you didn't draw the hair falling around it naturally enough--which I do find hard to deal with sometimes because you have to visualize where all the roots start and how hair flows around objects etc. Easy way to hide/deal with that problem is to layer it behind bangs. You are now going to notice how most ear placements in furry art with human-like hair makes no sense, but it's hidden because of the bangs trick. xD I also shortened her right ear because of the angle she's facing.
- I also gave her more hair/sideburns because she looked too "bald"
- I lowered her breasts because they felt too uncomfortably high on her torso. I didn't do a very good job though, since I didn't change any of the linework to follow her body more naturally, but you get the idea..
Some nice tips
Made a quick edit, seemed to make a lot of improvement
small version
large version
Her name is Cait (as in Caitlin) because it has letters that form cat in it
You gave me the first letter I guess
If i do another one she will be an assasin/hitman because the eyes are scary
should probably keep it simplistic while trying to learn anatomy....

I guess it's a matter of just sticking with it, and practicing drawing whenever you can. For example, I have a few guides that I'm going through for general drawing, but since I still have a shaky hand and odd angles, I just sketch a bit, not following anything, every day on the way to work. I think I've gotten better from when I first started, and even though I'm far from what could be considered good, I keep at it with the hope that my practice will come to fruit sometime in the future.
Im not planning on doing this often enough, it was more to get used to using a tablet for work
Would still like more random tips though

Onta's skunk(?) character, don't know his name. That's a pretty heinous rendition... wtf.
its almost a perfect clone of the P&S style
but that style being used in this way is just bad
Honestly I thought this thread could be proof that anthro art could be classy, and that not all the fans are depraved or perverted. But it turned into exactly why people are afraid to even come near the stuff.

That's what I was trying to do as well with the pics I posted, showing off some of the better talent. It's a lost cause I suppose. Not like I have room to talk anyway... probably a good thing my FA profile is under a different name. lol

Oh badger, duh. I know the tail is wrong for a skunk but that's what the markings reminded me of. He's cute for sure but I'm realy not that big a fan of Onta's style, I like some of the other HB artists better especially Pofooo and Azelyn.

You know what they say-
Lagomorphs have all the fun
'Hopping everywhere'.
I don't even know what this means

Hey, I still try sometimes, although I'm not as enigmatic
Too bad there isn't a more solid topic to talk about consistently here. Or is that the Community effect? I say yes.

I'm still here, just not very talkative.
If you say so.
You think I want people discovering this pit of filth?
edit: goodbye g-fex, I hope you find inner peace
