This is pretty good. In fact it better then i can do and i have some formal training.

2 quick tips

  1. get yourself some good pencils I like these http://amzn.com/B0038D8JQ8
  2. bigger is easier! get big paper (18x24 inches) and use as much of the page as you can. I found that this helped me focus on what the overall shape was and not each individual line

    Keep Practicing :)

What kind of pencils do you use? It may just be the picture, but it looks like your shading kind of blends into a medium gray in a lot of places, when high contrast (light grays and really dark blacks) might be more effective.

I would suggest buying a set of Prismacolor Turquoise pencils or similar ones that have "softer" shades like 9B, 8B or 7B. Then use those soft pencils to increase the darkness of places like the eyes and mouth here. If you haven't already, familiarize yourself with how to use hard and soft pencils. It might also help to take an eraser to some of the shading when you're done to make really bright highlights. This can really make shading easier and prettier, resulting in a drawing with higher contrast. :)

For pencils, my favorite is probably my Mars Technico, combined with the tub sharpener. The leads come from 4h-4b, so its a decent range. At 2mm it seems large, but the tub sharpener will put a needle ass point on that badboy. The leads last a pretty long time too.

Other than that, any set of pencils with a range of hardness would be cool, personally i prefer Prismacolor and Staedtler Mars Lumiograph. The technico costed about 16-17$ with the pencil, 3 leads and the sharpener, which i got an office depot.

For pens, I LOVE the Copic Multiliner SP. Pretty spendy, but the ink is refillable and the nibs are replaceable. Doesn't smudge when dry, and I've water colored over it fine even. A more affordable option would be Prismacolor Premier Pens, after about 5 seconds it won't smudge.
