I uploaded this a while ago and it got one star. Can someone please point out to me what I did wrong. I know it might not be perfect but I still think one star is a little rough.

I hope you do realize that there will always be 0 or 1 voters who just do it on purpose.This is why a single review on your work is a lot more valuable than the score on the drawing.If you want to fish out high scores on the instant you will have to:
1.Draw something really impressive and spectacular
2.Draw fanart of something
3.Draw tits and asses
The drawing itself is ok.The head kinda seems small and there isn't enough contrast(make the shading a little darker and it will look good)
TL:DR Make her naked for High scores

Thanks for the tips! I'll remamber this next time. It is kind of sad that the TL;DR is 100% true :/ Anyways, thanks, and I'll just get back to improving my stuff now. Big fan of yours btw.
You know its kind of funny that this is coming from me because I am not exactly known for my feminine figures but the problem is you are over-defining your figure with pretty much masculine characteristics and it makes her looks not very cute, look how i toned her down and rounded out her face a bit, makes a world of difference. When defining a lady dont always use lines, use color to make her softer looking. Dont over define the neck and collarbones, even in dudes its kind of gross looking. I hope my edit shows what i mean.

She has got a flat looking face. It's like someone has drawn a face onto a balloon.
Anatomy-wise it's nice around the stomach, but the shoulders are seemingly non-existent.
The empty spaces in the background doesn't do your image favours, either.
While what psychosheep said is true, I can see why this is getting low reviews. The art portal gets a lot of female poses, so if you want a high score it helps if you can do it well. Otherwise a lot of people will be overly critical, including the plebs who are only there for tits and ass.
(Edit: but don't draw for scores as they're mostly meaningless. Make sure you're happy and learning!)
Among the other things previously mentioned with regards to the face and the linework, shading and background a big issue I have is that you've essentially posted this twice, the drawing before this in your gallery is "searching for the perfect wave" and there she has an actual background and a purpose so it makes more sense. In this drawing though nothing is going on, she's just standing there in an uninteresting pose cut off by the border, standing in a pale yellow void, where's the fun in that. I wouldn't rank this any higher than a two because it feels, and is confirmed by the other drawing, to be unfinished

Lucky you, ever since Newgrounds implemented that dumb new voting system I haven't been able to get my scores any lower.

This does look much better. No matter what I do I always seem to get the face messed up. I guess it's something you just learn over time...
But thanks! This will help me a lot.

Thanks for the reply. I need to improve my faces, I know. It's nice to hear that at least I got the anatomy right (almost). Thanks, this will help me a lot!

Yup. It was kind of a selfish move. I thought I got low scores because of the background so i posted this to get feedback on the girl only. To make it more fair I removed the original from the portal.

Im not even scouted my stuff arent being voted and its all fine, simply because its not my top priority.
Now there is something i agree with and its that low votes especially should always have a comment on why the vote went that way.That way it gives you some specific feedback to improve on but thats a whole other topic.
Just my 2 cents.
I completely agree with you on this. It's extremely infuriating when you get a low score and no review explaining to you why. That's why I turned to this forum for feedback. I think there should be a rule that if you rate something two stars or lower you have to give the artist some sort of reason as to why. Thanks for replying :)
