This is such a cute illustration!!!  First of all, I really like your thin and delicate line art in conjunction with the soft pastel-like coloring.  Also, your texturing with the lines themselves adds a lot of character to the piece!!  Normally I like to see line width change, but I think due to your hatching, it works wonderfully as it is.

I also really like the giraffe's facial expression, and design.  Not only does it hark back to blowing bubbles, but the pig tails feel really relatable, and I've never seen that approach on a giraffe before x3
