Not bad at all Joe
bad thing: But as my Life drawing teachers used to say, 'an image isn't made of lines, they are made of tones' ie real life things very rarely if ever have lines around them, the shape is defined by tone to give substance/depth etc.
Good thing: full range of tones used from black to white, cool
Bad thing: A bit of background, even if its anly a tiny bit can make a huge difference to an image,
Good thing : And last (this is really cool) look up what the 'golden meen' or 'rule of thirds' is, can really help with composition (which you have done naturally in your picture, two thirds body, one third head)
And even though I have just written all the above remember.
'A Picture can NEVER be bad as art is a subjective thing' theres only people who like it or dont understand
