This drawing has some potential, but there's a couple of things bothering me with this that I'd like to address.

1: Theres little to no emotion in the eyes, probably due to how wide they are and how small the pupils are in comparison. It doesn't give a 'crazy' effect. It just looks... Off. The use of circle tool isn't helping either- it just looks lazy.

2: They're holding the knife COMPLETELY wrong. There's no way they should be able to hold it like that, the hilt is not even lined up to the crease of the bottom of the fingers, and they're holding it... In front of their wrist? It overall looks so awkward- almost like they almost dropped it and just barely caught it. It's literally the first thing I noticed too, so you can't exactly play it off as a "minor mistake"

3: There is no variation to the thickness of the lines. Pen pressure is something you need. The lines look so flat and boring without it. It's visually unappealing.

4: Speaking of lines, PLEASE don't use line or shape tools. It looks incredibly lazy. It, in fact, IS incredibly lazy. 

5: There's no shading. The only "shading" is in the gradient. Again, the lack of shading makes everything boring to look at. There should be some form of distinguishable light source and some form of shadows (not with black though, I recommend looking up color shading references and tutorials.) Without any shading, it will look lazy and rushed. 

6: Theres no wrinkles in the clothes where there SHOULD be wrinkles- Example: the front of the shirt.

All-in-all; This can be fixed simply by looking up references and tutorials, as well as putting more time into your work and getting a better art program, and not use a mouse to draw. Or go to traditional.

Thanks for the critic really appreciated it, and to be honest I kinda agreed with most of the things you said here, I need to practice a lot for that kind of drawing (I don't considered myself an artist). *Getting a better art program* That's my biggest problem, (I used Paint.net) so I don't think it's the best program to used to draw (In my opinion).   I want to try another one, but honestly I'm not sure which one will be the best. 

But like you said, looking at tutorials and references might be a good idea too

About the art program thing, I've got a great idea for you!! I actually use it myself and its 100% free!! Its a program called FireAlpaca! Ive used it to make all of my more recent pieces of digital art, it's a very good program once u get the hang of it! I'll be more than happy to aid in your improvement.

Really?! look pretty cool I will check it out .  Oh, and I got a question, some people told me that having a tablet to draw (Or whatever it is call) is a good thing to used, is that true?  If so I might used that cause using a mouse to draw really started to annoyed me :/  

P.s: I look at your arts and that program look pretty good

Yeah yeah!!! Get a tablet, it'll make everything MUCH better, trust me. It's a bit of a learning curve because it's a bit different from holding a pencil n all that-
I recommend a Wacom Intuos! Not one of em w the screens, there's one that's completely black and that's the one I use (I'll try n find the model and send you the link via note!)

Thanks that exactly what I want to use .  
But one question, can I find a tablet in stores or I can only buy them online? 

Oh almost forgot, about firealpaca, can you send me a link of the good one to use? I look on Google but
I find different links and not sure which is the good one.
