I give it a 'meh'.
Not bad for a first try! <^.^> Keep at it! Noses and mouths are especially difficult, but keep practicing and you'll surprise yourself!
Mr Martial - that's frakking rude man.

What Mist said. It also helps if you draw from a reference, it'll give you an idea of where to place things.
I won't tell you its awesome :P
but thats how I started out about 4 years or so ago , alot of folks seem to go one of two ways either they
a) give up frustrated as they aren't drawing as well as they would like and not becoming insta masters
b) pick apart their own work in the harshest possiable ways
so as long as you don't fall into the above two traps your on your way .
the tips I can give you are very very slim but i'll tell you what worked for me .
Draw constantly , keep a notepad with you and doodle constantly while your on the phone , on long trips where someone else is driving , waiting to load into a zone in CoX , while watching survivor .
Draw everything and anything
Be willing to try new things and new styles , read ,study attempt to duplicate so as to better understand .
be brave and ask questions and take all the answers you get with a grain of salt
invest in a big bundle of printer or copier paper to practice on
Save everything you draw , draw on every inch of the paper as you can always redraw something you really like later 
start collecting an image portfolio , essentially pictures of things you find intresting to draw and reference from
show things and ask for useful feedback , sure its great hearing folks go "wow" but its even more useful to be shown where your weaknesses are , were you may need to hone your craft , heck even just a different way to do things
is closing
keep at it mate you'll eventually get back what you put into it with dillegent practice

Crap! I do those two things 90% of the time! (Well, maybe not give up, but every piece I do goes through the I WILL NEVER %@#$ING GET THIS RIGHT phase). I have a very short honeymoon period for liking my own work.
But what Scarf Girl said is still totally true. We all started somewhere and we're still all improving.

Being a first try that's actually quite descent.
DON'T be afraid to trace stuff or use refferences for some sketches, it will help you get a good feel for how things are places and proportioned. That's what I used to do when I was learning, it does help the process greatly, better then some of those craptacular "how to draw" books with confusing steps that assume you're already an artist
