it's great that you're doing this! 
i do think that you should work on a coloured canvas, like green, pink, blue or something. the aa doesn't work in your piece, keep practicing it but for now i think this is better off without. i can see you've tried to create texture: give this more contrast and avoid banding, then you'll be able to start working on texture! you need to work on creating a more consistent shading through a specific light source, then work on how it reacts on the different parts of the robot and between them and his volume.
keep it up!
