Good to see you're keeping up with things! I would suggest you work on faces though, I see some issues with your facial proportions, especially in things that seem to be done from memory. Good news is that there are a ton of face pictures available via Google image search if it's something you decide to practice. There are also a lot of good tutorials and books on the subject, although I don't have any handy for linking right now.

Anyway, here's the coloured version of that picture. Shading was involved, but me and shading don't get on well, just so you know.

No BG because I can't think of one.

The best advice I got with shading is to think of your drawing as consisting of simpler forms smashed together, and then try and shade those forms. So it isn't an arm or a torso, it's a cylinder with some oval lumps or a slightly puffed out rectangular prism. Also practice shading those simple forms in different lightings as part of your fundamentals to get something to build on.
