Great start! My advice is try to draw much lighter next time (e.g. don't press as hard when you draw), these are supposed to be quick and loose. Also don't use so many lines to get a contour down - sometimes it's good practice to limit yourself to 5-10 lines per sketch. Keep practicing and you will see tremendous improvement, especially if you have time to practice every day :) PS: I recommend placing the artwork on the floor or a desk/table during midday. I use the edges of my phone's camera window and the edges of my paper to line it up so it is not crooked (or as little as possible), and daytime sunlight is the best lighting you can get for taking a photo of your artwork. As long as the light source (eg window) is in front of you (you're facing it) your shadow shouldn't obscure your work either. This will make it much clearer and improve how it looks.
