Hmm, it is certainly cute.
It's more having a cartoon atmosphere than most art I saw on your profile...
It's really nice, colorful, and cute. However, I can see that there are a few issues.
But to begin, I'd like to point out the fantastic job you did here first...

Starting with the colors, the blend from a color to white always amaze and fascinate me. And the choice of colors is fantastic! Light blue and the autumn colors... So starting off with the rabbit, I'd see where the cartoon atmosphere came from... So from the grey fur, there are really great contrasts that can be found here, the individual white line after line made it more as fur, but a unique kind of style. Having the lines go through the dark line area had the rabbit's fur shine.
Then going through the rabbit's eyes, its eyelashes are also what radiated the different look onto this piece. The eyes all dark but are really lustrous.
Onto the cheeks and nose, the nose is colored or "dotted" with red which is very well made for a nose. The round cheeks with the light red blushes (Blended really neatly, by the way) and whiskers are what really stands out as a different "kind of" style, as I said earlier that it had the cartoon feel to it...
As so as the tip of it's ears... Getting a tiny bit of Dr. Seuss's line work...
Or maybe something from a another children's book.
Then finally, the paws adds a tiny bit more on the 'style's' feel or look, that's all

Up next, we have the leaves.
Under the rabbit, there are several or various colors that blended to look like that each color signifies each independent leaves, something I found most appealing about these colors you used. And the "Few" darker lines made this bottom of the painting, really made it to look like leaves!
It can even still make the long strands of grass stand out too.
All made with a wavy motion. It even helps with the standing out the most on the ground. [The leaves made horizontally and the grass made vertically]
{And for some reason there are white spots on the painting, nut I'll pass on those, it doesn't really affect anything}

And then there's the fallen leaf and ... those...?
Forgive me, please. But I'm trying remember what they're called or what are they... The little spikes falling from the sky...
The main leaf was made over, in a perspective way, excellently.
The leaf left damaged to see the right side of the rabbit is what also plays a major role in this painting. There are, however, make these two stand out too much. The water coloring on the leaf is brilliant and beautiful looking with variant color, while as the unique style on the rabbit's white lines are incredible; They just don't seem compatible with one another. It feels or looks as if they're entirely different styles. If one of these had the same as their own or a mixed style of their of their own, it would've been entirely been about the whole painting getting together and blending in really nicely as one "Style".
More example such as this can be seen from the left hand looking more real and without a different feel to it just like the rabbit had, and these two (Rabbit and Leaf) are "The major roles of the painting", so the differences can be told, but not from a glance...

Continuing on with the big leaf connecting it are the brown lines.
But as it is damaged, it still holds ups without it's missing pieces on its left side.
And that's what makes it so good.
At the left, there's the hand holding the leaf. In a all honesty, I think its good.
The thumb is looks good, it shows the knuckles, and the lines where the thumb and fingers bends appears. The thumbnail seems like it used a bit more red than light, but it can easily pass... Another thing I like to point out is some whiting to show more realism on the hand. Ending it with blending with the whiteness outside the painting.

In conclusion, I'd say that focusing on two major roles need to blend together, work together just like a team. If a look or style was decided, go on with that look to create an image that can work with everything presented on it. But stay with it (Mainly the main roles of the painting or drawing). While it can be true that another style can be presented, but have it that it doesn't make too drastic or with subtle changes that can help blend it... or in a way that it can be automatically made or tell it's observers that it was meant to have independent styles...
With all of this aside, I'd say that this piece was still pretty good on its own and a very wonderful piece of artwork.

Thank you for reading and thank you, Chinchillacosmica for letting everyone have a look on amazing pieces you've made...
