First, have you been studying your studies? So many people study as far as their blessed little hands can take them, but for all that effort they don't DO anything with it. Look over your studies again, write down what you learned, wait a day, see what you remember - take breaks while you're doing other pieces, flip through your notes, make sure you're not forgetting what you learned. You're not passive about critiquing yourself, don't be passive about learning, either.

As far as the piece, you're not rendering in forms and you haven't created a clear separation between light and shadow. Remember, planes in shadow and in light need their own very distinct set of tones - read Pyle's notes on Light and Shadow. I did a really basic (poor) paintover, but hopefully it gets across what I'm trying to say.

Also, reference, and watch your edges.

Teach yourself to figure it out with reference, you won't learn as much by asking us every step of the way.
