I'm wondering what you guys think. I'm trying really hard to reach professional levels,
So on a scale of Newbie to Amateur to Professional looking, what would you say?
(Let's say Newb is 0-4, Advanced but not pro is 5-7, and Pro is 8-10.)
And if you're an artist, can you tell me what I did wrong or how I could make this look better?
(It would be great if regular people/non artists answer too because an artist can tear anything apart, but the 'first reaction' of a non-artist is in some ways more valuable to gauge where you're really at.)
Note: I tried this post earlier but I made the mistake of using an unfinished sketch, so a lot of people rating me down because it wasn't a complete work. This is a complete panel, with full color so maybe that issue won't come up.)
Having said that, I did get some great critiques on my sketch that I put up, so I don't regret it.

Very good rendering/shading, but other than that your fundamentals aren't any less or better than the OP's.
Both show decent perspective, etc. all the stuff I mentioned.
I think you just wanted to feel like you're better than someone else. And to be honest, the OP had better composition, their stuff pointed to a focal point, yours is just a stand up in the center of the frame.
Maybe you just don't care for cartoons.

I'd give it a 5, lack some fundies but overall nice linework
your line work in those hairs is decent but still not perfect. theyre whispy but should be more scraggly. it isnt lifelike. too uniform. you have good texture and expression in your brush strokes but some of it is a bit flat. put more motion into it. examine the different texture in these lines to see what im talking about.

the trick is using different hair textures, draw from life and youll see the body has different types of hair.
