It isn't too great, but yeah.

I made it from Pearl/April/Maggey/Maya/Adrian.

Try raising up the nose and mouth a little. And changing the chin. Also, try to get the line quality of the outlines of the clothes to match the line quality of her bangs. All in all though, it's a good first attempt!

Hmmm, I'm in a critiquing mood tonight. I think I'll give it a go. *cracks knuckles*

Okay. My biggest issue is her face. It looks... I dunno, too big for her head? You might try to move the nose and mouth up a little bit, and move the eyebrows down. Maybe you should add a little bit more shading to the nose to define it properly and make it look more "adult", too (I'm assuming she's an adult, judging by the size of her bust... *brick'd*). The eyes are good, though.

We move on to the hair. The bangs look good, the top looks passable, but the real issue is with the back. It's all one solid color! It lacks shading. Even the dark portions of the hair need to be shaded. Also, it looks a little, um, lumpy? And it seems to be turning inwards, like a solid object. Hair is made up of several strands; it should turn outwards or fall in a straight line down the back, unless you want it to defy gravity (not that PW doesn't have its fair share of gravity-defying hair, but still). You might want to smooth that out.

Now, the body. The recoloring job looks a little slipshod; it lacks shading (AGAIN with the "S" word? *brick'd again*). Also, quality of the lines on the body doesn't quite match the ones on the face. They're too, erm, black? And they have the same problem the hair had - lumpy lines. Gradiate the colors on the outlines to fix this.

... I'm really sorry if that came off as harsh. It just peeves me to see sprite edits that aren't up to my own (admittedly very high) standards. I know it's your first, and it's good for a first. It's better than some of the stuff I've seen around here. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

It's a very nice sprite edit, especially for a first attempt =)
I think any problems I have with it are mostly anatomical...I agree about squishing the face in more. As a guide, eyes are about halfway down the face (so your eyes are fine, but the eyebrows should maybe be lower), the bottom of the nose should be halfway between the eyes and the chin, and the mouth should be about halfway between the nose and the chin =)

Also, since you used Pearl as the head and April as the body, the face looks much younger than the body does...maybe make the neck thicker and the eyes smaller?

These are all small adjustments though, all in all this isn't bad, I think you could get really good if you just practice =)

The head's size is fine, it's more the shape of the face. Some corrective surgery should help there.

I would also suggest editing the body more to make it more distinguished from April May's body (which is teh overused, especially since the genderswapping craze, but I can see it making a great base for edits).
