/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Because I put it there.

How do I draw cute anime girls like pic related? I understand how to draw all the seperate common facial tropes in anime (like eyes, the four-slash-mark-type blushes, the smiles that go thin in the middle and all that), but when I put it all together it looks like some Total Drama Island garbage and not cute at all. I know a simple pointer isn't going to solve all my problems, but I would appreciate some tips or if you have any or resources/directions I could take my art towards to get better at it.
Pls help /ic/, I know it's kinda silly but I really want to be able to draw shit like this
