I think it's cute. Some people may pay like 20-30 btb for it. Idk.

You have improved though .. A lot *applauds*
 
No sorry. Buy a tablet, mouse art usually never improves to the point of selling.
Watch tutorials on proportions + shading

You'll get there!
 

You can draw amazing stuff even without a tablet!
Before I got a tablet, I used to do lineart traditionally, took a picture of it, then colored it digitally -- the key is to shrink the final product to super small so the traditional lines aren't that obvious LOL;; (not a recommended method tho www)
Another thing you might want to look into is the pen tool on photoshop / vector layers on sai. Here's tutorial I found useful on the pen tool to get you started!
I don't know if he's still using the pen tool or not, but here's a friend who used to + a hair tutorial that he made;;
Hope this helps!

I second this, not that I draw lol; but I also know Chibi.Hoshi is incredible and uses only her mouse as of right now. My sig bust-piece was done by her and her ability to use only a mouse is so wonderful, such talent<3 So, yes you can excel at art without a tablet.

Not true! I use only a mouse for my art. Mouse art isn't all bad! It just depends on how you use it!
(Although for my busts, I did draw traditionally and then take a pic. I used PS to do the lineart digitally then colored it with SAI. For stickies, I freehand it with my mouse and nothing else.)
 
Thanks! I def. think I improved. I know it can be better, but I had to rush to get it done. I'll probably do another one when I am on summer break.

hmm
I wouldn't, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep practicing!
The arm seems really tiny compared to the legs, and it could use a little more shading at the hair.
It's still pretty cute, but keep practicing and come back, I'm sure you'll get better feedback!
Remember, practice, practice, PRACTICE!

Good luck!

also: freebie threads are GREAT for practice
