Just a small sketch following your advice, but I was wondering if you you tell me if there was anything I could be specifically working on given my skills?
I'll be trying to get my hands on an anatomy book or two and practising whenever I can using other artists work, as well as storytelling.
Thank you so much for the advice you've given me so far, I really appreciate it, especially considering I'm currently living in a country were any art classes would be in a foreign language (a little hard to learn when you don't understand the teacher!). Also, I was wondering, seeing as you see a lot of other people's work, would you be able to point me towards some adventure and supernatural comics and graphic novels?
HMU, we might be able to help each other
It's difficult to comment as I haven't seen the original, but let me throw it back at you. Why did you copy this particular piece and what were you looking to learn from it?
Here's a link I'm posting to some PDF copies of Andrew Loomis' art books that you should find very useful:

Andrew Loomis died in the late 1950's so he won't be upset you're downloading his books. His art is very classical illustration that I think will serve as a good basis for where you want to go later.
As far as other artists work to look at I'd recommend looking for yourself and making your own mind up. For a start you can look through the artists I follow on my page and pick for yourself. They're all very different and have very different styles.
When thinking about the supernatural and horror a lot of it is about pacing, storytelling and lighting. Experiment in drawing objects and people lit to give a strong contrast.
Yours,
- Dave
