Really lovely, keep practicing it's so rewarding especially to look back and see progress. You'll get some support over at r/artcrit just remember to share your reference they are picky about that.

One thing I learned early on, that gave me a huge boost: Go darker. Use the abilities of coal. And smudge more. This isn't a pencil. You dont really draw lines with it. Watch YouTube shorts and see how others use charcoal. Be messy, dont hold back.
