Before you even jump off coloring/inking that thing, you need to fix it, the eyes are uneven, he's slouching over too much. And is he suppose to be sad or something?
I honestly think you're jumping at this TOOOOOOO FAST, if you wanna be real good, you gotta master aspects of basic drawing before moving onto digital. I understand if you wanna try new things, but I think you're just trying to be considered "good" at a fast rate, you need to slow down. You won't develop all you need in just "1 year", art doesn't work that way, kid. Takes time and patience.
