I highly doubt the OP was trying to emulate anime/eastern style, because if so you'd see something more like the top right. That was my attempt to "easternize" the pic with minimal edits... It looks less western but there's a lot of work to be done, especially if you compare to the original source.

So! Here are some things to keep in mind (for cute/young characters).

>small, barely there noses. No nostrils
>small mouths
>big eyes, big pupils, thicker upper lash line
>de-emphasize the inner corners of the lash lines
>daintier and thinner neck, smaller shoulders
>more unified color palette. Even with the edits her skin tone looks very sallow and jaundiced compared to original source
>more sophisticated hair shapes
>an actual skull
