[EDIT] Hmm, sorry im not really convinced some elements of this weren't traced. I overlayed the images and although the rest of the body is offset from the original, the lines on the hand give it away for me. Sorry if that is just a one in a million thing but, yeah. This link is my overlay of the two pictures. Not trying to start beef, I'd just like to see future work that isnt this similar to another. https://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/faffcd93c3280906786b84f9c667e67f

Definitely skilled, however I had to google this because it felt inconsistent and found the Base image you likely used on deviant art: https://www.deviantart.com/rosysenpai/art/Girl-Reaching-Out-Anime-Base-583504447
While you did make a lot of changes, the maker of the base did request to be credited if used so, I will rate 3.5 if you credit the base makers of your art. I see you practice a lot on faces, hair and clothing. You can easily move past the need for Bases with this skill. Try varying line thicknesses to make your lines feel less stiff.
