added comment intrying to improve my line
Hey alaa11,
I think it's good that you want to improve on your lines, but don't forget to also keep working on your head construction. You need to keep your features and proportions correct before you worry too much about your line quality. I did a quick draw over to show you how you can build the head properly, I hope this helps :)

wow.
thanks so much, guess i was focusing on the wrong thing
i will start working on my head construction.
thanks again!
Did you use the overhand or manuscript grip? It looks like you held you pencil as if you were going to write something (manuscript). The reason we only use the manuscript grip for details is that it generally cramps the artists ability to use their arm and shoulder, thereby limiting stroke length and fluidity. It feels awkward at first, and you may notice some muscle tenderness after a long session of gesture drawings. But, teaching your mind/body to use the arm and shoulder WILL help the fluidity of your drawing.

https://www.proko.com/community/topics/how-can-i-improve-my-lines
and i received great advice and i tried to use it in this this drawing
(mainly slowing down, thinking before putting lines on paper and removing distractions like youtube videos and podcasts.)
any critic is welcomed on the lines or anything else

ok- first off- there's a lot charm in your lines right now, lots of personality to them. But you aren't wrong in feeling like you want to control them more, because there will be times where you need to. So here's an exercise for that. (see image)

Draw with intention. Draw with a concentrated effort to follow through with the line in one stroke and to use minimal lines. Just drawing with a pen will not help but it may help realize what lines are being put down and what are necessary.
thanks man
i think i am drawing while being distracted (listening to podcasts/youtube videos)
also i may be drawing too fast (still new to drawing so i can't really control my tembo,i just draw as fast as possible)
i will try to slow down and focus more
I feel like my lines are too scratchy and random
Its like i am putting too many lines in a sketch
Any feedback is appreciated.
