What are you planning on doing from this point on? Is this the end goal you have in mind? You should pull up a reference, this is what Google pulled up:

There are a few differences between this and yours. The eyes have a red border around them and little red slits below, and the red circle in the reference is different from yours, there isn't a cross shape. The shape could be refined to reflect the shape of the head, your example is like it was applied to a flat wall, instead of a head that has a curvature to it. The shoulders also have the curls and a pen tuft, and the tail is more like a pen soaked in ink (likely an intended effect!
) instead of the curls. Some things to consider if you're aiming for accuracy!
You can also work on some other things to improve the piece, for example consider how the reference varies the line thickness, some areas are clearly thicker while some others are thinner. Try doing something similar with yours! You can also work on shading (and in the process learn how to pick some good palettes) or antialiasing your lineart.
