I'll add my journal at a later point, if it's not too much trouble. Being on a mobile doesn't make it the easiest thing to do.
Before I critique anything else, I'd first to address your technique. I'll admit, I do love how you're able to give each character a distinct mood about them simply by placing their lines atop a different colour. The pale and swooping lines evoke a sense of femininity that I can't quite put my finger on. It is a style I've always envied, so I may be biased in that respect.
Now, let's address your anatomy. Considering that this takes after a slightly caricatured style, you have plenty of room to alter the body. The only points at which I can say the posing itself was awkward are in your drawing of the shoulders and hips. The shoulders are rather sharp, and almost look as if a shrug would be their relaxed position. The hips are fine for the most part, save the girl in the center. While I understand that you wished to give her high-rise jeans, you have to keep in mind the principle that fabric flows around form. Those hips look a little too boxy for my taste.
Additionally, I'd like to add a few things I love about this piece.
1. Hair types: It seems to me that on the realm of DeviantART artists seem to forget that not all hair is thin and straight. Seeing wavy and textured hair just made my day.
2. Those eyes are simply adorable. I can say no more.
3. You can draw noses. That is not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination.
Your designs are simple and refreshing. All too often, adoptables lack the originality you express here. The only reason I docked you stars on the originality category was simply because adoptable sheets are nothing new.
Overall, good job! I look forward to seeing more work from you in the future.
