One way you'll be able to immediately improve your technique is with a little use of line weight. Pick a direction as your light source. Then look for all the lines that face away from the light source and make them thicker (generally 150-200%). You'll be surprised how quickly it'll add a sense of realism when your brain sees the sort of depth effects it automatically hunts for when viewing an object .

I should make the lines thicker even if its going to be colored?

Yes. The brain expects to see line weight in B&W and in color .

Totally agree with Morgenstern. This pic looks good but some line weight will definitely enhance it dramatically. Line weight helps to create a sense of volume and definition.
