Critique? Can do!
First, I'm starting with the cute. The shading looks pretty nice, especially in the hair and eyes! The little flower imprints are cute and make an interesting pattern on the piece overall. Lines are nice and consistent throughout, and your hues for shading don't delve into using straight blacks and whites.
However, the first thing I noticed was the shapes created by the shading on her skin were a bit odd. I can see how you tried to make form with raising her cheekbones, but it comes out a bit too circular and sort of strange on the rest of her face, which is rounded and flat. Also, near her right collarbone, you seem to ignore your light source (which is the top left, if the eyes are any indication), shading that side the same as you shaded her left, which is more justified in that shading style. Also, her bow's shading is blurry and inconsistent with the light source again, I think using some cel-shade influence here would help create the shape of the bow better. Also, the back of her hair, being closer to her head and blocked from light a bit more, should be darker. I can see you did that but it needs to be stronger.
Lastly, I like that you gave Rin a rounder face and fuller lips! It's refreshing. In this simpler style, I think the lips look fine, though I'm sure a couple spots of shine would help them pop. As for her nose, it seems a bit high on her face, but that's likely in conjunction with her eyes, which are also high. One thing I've noticed is that you tend not to give your peoples' hair volume, so don't be afraid to poof! I think adding hair volume would help with the eyes seeming so high.
All in all, I think it's super cute and I hope I wasn't too mean.

Thank you so, so much! All of that was really helpful! ^^ And the shading sucks mostly because I ignored any and all rules and just went for it, which turned out not to be a very good decision... But you pointed out a lot of things that I didn't notice, which is great -- like the hair... I'll have to keep that in mind. uvu
That definitely wasn't mean as much as constructive! Thank you so much again! *keeps for future reference*
