The shape and posture of the body is overall spot on, if you're going for the 'pointy' look you shouldn't curve the shadows(see shoulders for best example of this), only slightly bend them. A great example of how to work this type would be
THIS. Overall still in a 'pointy' shape but still smooth and clean enough to be classified and identified as decent shadows.
The other thing i'd like to point out is that anime looks really bad without outlines or really bold/dark shadows differenciating the different pieces of the character from the rest. For instance, the eyes just blur straight onto the face, you should have something that blocks the eyes from completely being in direct contact with the face, but doesnt have to be all the way around(
example). I think the best thing to do with these eyes would be to add some sort of very thin outline on the top and 'outward' sides of the eyes.
Are those white circles on the hair supposed to be reflections? Absolutely horrible, smooth them in or remove them.
Great job on the shading of the neck/chin area, but anime shadows shouldn't be that blurry/smooth, sharpen it up bro.
Right speaker of the headphone: Mapped perfectly, add highlights around the inside of the speaker for maximum shadowing effect.
Left speaker of the headphone: Almost completely perfect, amazing job. Just fix the highlight.
Shading of the hair: Too blurry, needs to be sharper, that other example I gave up above on how to shade 'pointy' should be a sufficient example on how the hair should be shaded also.
FIVAH OUT.
Woooooooooooooosh
