As an x art teacher I would agree with most of what you say about technique. Looking at your self portrait, which is not at all bad, I suspect you rubbed the pencil shading with your finger to enhance light and dark. Personally I would not encourage this as it tends to make the drawing look dirty or smudgy ( as it is). I think a better effect can be produced with less pressure on the pencil, this produces a cleaner, more intentional finished look to the drawing. Peter Painter
