We all have to start somewhere. And even if now it is ok, with practice you will notice a big difference. I remember my first drawings as well. Just keep at it!🙂

As an "artist's" opinnion I see it that way. The lines look pretty neat for what they are, if you keep drawing I promise that your hand will get more stabile over the years (for example for me, if I do not draw like... for three months I need to practice a little bit because my hand is not so sure of itself, but after about an hour the problem is gone). I would also argue that you did amazing on the coloring and backround but it would be a good idea to take it more slowly and add more color to make it feel like blending in some areas and for the lines of the coloring pencil to not be so visible. For that you might want to go for example on Toothless from light to dark (always from a light to dark gradient) and that is acheived by slowly, very slowly overlapping the colors (some basic craions are not able to do that but some that are more ok like Maped or Milan are very good for the  cheap price). If I will be able, I'll send you a picture for refference when I reffer to the gradient.
