hey, welcome to the boards!  There are lots of things you can do to improve your wolf monster head:

1 - DO NOT MIRROR.  Choose an interesting pose and angle, and render your shape!

2 - Pick a light source!  Pillow shading bad, painting with light and shadow good!

3 - Get rid of the banding!

4 - Paint actual hair, not scribbly little lines!  See buloght's work for awesome monster hair.

5 - Add a background and a neck!

That said, even in this rough and unlit state there is something compelling about this image.  Please give it more love!
