Shoulders look unnaturally broad, waist should possibly be slimmer to highlight that she's a female (females are so much more curvy than males).
It also looks like we're viewing her slightly from above, I don't know if it's on purpose, but if it is you did a good job on it.

For how long have you been drawing?

With the walk appearing "funny", the reason would be because the pose looks completely static.

This is natural when starting out, but for future reference body parts are all connected...try watching yourself in a mirror when you walk and see how everything turns and counterbalances. Then draw lots of figures. Even stick figures, and exaggerate. That'll help you get the feel of dynamic poses.

Almost forgot...if you'd like, I can redline your image for you to show you what I mean. But only if you want.

Shoot, last thing (my turn to do a triple post, sorry T_T):

Triple posting can be okay in some circumstances, i.e. when it doesn't constitute spam. For example if you're posting about three completely separate things and each post is sufficiently long enough.

Or when your posts are so long that if you don't split them up they aren't readable. But if you have enough time to type that much...well!

Strop, when you triple post, I wonder why you don't just copy/paste what you wrote in the post before, adds onto it, posts again, and delete your old post... *puzzled look* But then again, you are never really spamming with your multiple posts...

Looks better, but I agree with what Strop said. I can't give advice on that, though.

hmm, the way the feet are placed doesn't seem natural. Even if your shooting for a 45 degree angle look or somethin', I'm pretty sure the feet would need to be in a different position. Like, the way the feet are now, it sorta looks like she's floating in the air.

I tend to do it when my posts are relatively short and don't go over the pages. But I have a slow internet connection and therefore it takes me probably several times longer than it would most people here.

Never take fast internet for granted.

Hm, an hour and nobody's posted...and since I promised to do some redlining I think I'm allowed to post consecutively, hmm? Hmm?

Seriously guys, we know how to keep a lid on it. So moving on:

Esuna, I know you're 12 and fairly new to drawing etc. so this is not a criticism so much as an exercise. I will be focusing on shape.

You've focused most of your effort on the head and as such the head is very good. Drawing whole body dynamic figures is a slightly different challenge, because, put simply, everything is connected to everything else. Especially parts that are next to each other.

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq105/strawpony/redline.jpg

What I've done here, with the blue lines, is a basic wireframe, to show you the structure that your picture implies. The reason it looks "strange" or "static" is because, as you can see, the structure doesn't quite match up. Everything is sort-of "straight on" except for the head. Direct, straight and rigid angles are great for drawing robotic or confrontational expressions but not much else. Furthermore the subtler hints in your drawing imply that you were shooting for another angle:

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq105/strawpony/redline2.jpg

There are a number of ways to approach a standing pose, and since the head had the most detail I decided to base my quick interpretations of that. In this one, everything is facing the same way (bold, strong character) but is set oblique to the viewer. I did this to match the character of the head- it's a little flirtatious too. I did have to move the tail to make it match up. But I apologise for ruining the head in this particular image.

Now for the walking:

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq105/strawpony/redline3.jpg

Movement is difficult to understand because, as I said earlier, everything is involved. I've exaggerated the feminine touches here since this is a vixen, but as you can see from the arrows, when the hips go one way, the shoulders go the other to counterbalance. I guess the thing I would concentrate most on when depicting movement is the "state" of balance, as drawing something off-balance implies that it is moving.

Having established this, I fleshed it out quickly:

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq105/strawpony/redline4.jpg

Some general notes- hands are really hard to draw, so I'd start with getting the general feel for the various angles and their carriage first. Finger gestures can be very intricate and add a lot of depth to the image but take a lot of practice to get right.

It'd be worth studying the difference between various female and male body types, as there are some general trends. Women have more hips, and they tend to go higher, and what I've done (hopefully) is demonstrated the basic characteristics of the "womanly" figure. After that it's up to you to exaggerate or downplay various parts to your liking, or mix it up etc. etc.

Hope this helps!

lol ignore that, I got ninja'd by Esuna.

Looking at yourself walking in a mirror or even posing in a mirror (provided you aren't too shy) is an excellent idea. In fact this not only helps your drawing but in turn can build confidence in the way you carry yourself...if you need that xD

Way not to spam Klaus :P

The other note I forgot: feet rarely point in the same direction as each other...it's very unnatural to have your feet parallel when standing still! They usually point out from each other a little bit.
