That looks pretty sick, well done capturing the angle of the face and translating things like the sheen of the hair over very well. I don't know how "anime" this is meant to be, since you usually don't make the nose and lips as pronounced as this, but it's a very nice sketch nonetheless.

I like that you captured the shading well, and some parts like the legs and feet even look better to me. But I think you got the size and angle of the torso long, it's clearly longer in your painting, so you also ended up elongating the right arm to make the hand match up where it belongs in the photo, which makes your arm look stretched and alien-like. The left shoulder shape is also a little funky.

Lastly, I think you ended up flattening the face a bit, maybe the head is even smaller than it's supposed to be? The nose is smaller, which is fine, but it also lost some of the depth it gave to the face. The lips seem less pronounced, and so does the round shading on the cheeks. At first I thought there was something wrong with the eyes, but as it turns out, I think they're the most okay thing in your painting.

This is just based on observation so it could be wrong, and if you painted it by sight, it's a very commendable effort, but I'm sure you can improve upon it.
