Curious, how old are you? Don't feel you have to be terribly specific, teens or 20's works. Nice drawing.
When I was a senior in high school, I was in a Career Art advanced art class. One day, our teacher takes us to a supply room. On a table are drawings, lots of drawings. Different mediums like dry pastel, oil pastel, colored pencil, graphite pencil drawings, all spectacular. He looked at us and said, these were done by a 13 year old (I was 17 at the time), you all will have a lot of competition if you choose to pursue art as a career. Take a good look and then get back to work.
That's when I got my first reality check. I got my next one at Uni when I witnessed professors critiquing pieces of work for so long, that people began to cry. Try working on a drawing for 40 hours in one week only to be torn down verbally. At first, I hated that man. But if he didn't tell us how it was as students, someone in the real world would have.
Nice job by the way. Good use of chiaroscuro, repost when you add a background.
