I think this is a decent piece. For one, I love how the snake curls around the skull, it's very elaborate and you rendered it very well. Also, the skull is quite nicely drawn and there's evidence of you having good control over pen and pencil. I find that those two mediums work very well together. The things I would fix however, would first to make the background more complete by filling it with that mid gray tone. That would help bring out the skull and snake. Also, the snake should be made darker as to separate it from the skull and be given highlights to show the way the light reflects off it''s scales. The horizon line also bothers me because it cuts right under the skull, making it seem like the skull is hinged on something rather than sitting on something and the horizon line doesn't even continue to the other side of the paper, making the line a distracting element. Also, the perspective of the skull is off and some work needs to be made in form and proportions. Overall, its an interesting piece and like every art piece, needs improvement in some areas.
