I am very new to digital art (this being my like 3rd ever attempt)
I've been drawing for years traditionally so the transition has been relatively easy.
I would just like some feedback or pointers on how to improve, negatives and positives are welcome. I am looking to get a real realistic finish, am I doing anything wrong so far?

note: I do not trace because let's be fair, it takes no skill to trace.

Whats wrong with tracing? It's only bad if you claim you made it. Tracing for studying is perfectly fine

proportions seem to be good, and the subject is recognizable.

Looks pretty flat overall. Whatever your doing with the neck isn't reading well. I'm not sure about the marks you left in around eyes and ears... it's not so much that they're bad... but they don't fit really well with the rest of the composition.

OP: I agree with you- but I'm just trying to improve getting proportions right so tracing would make that void
