I have no scanner and the camera on my laptop refuses to take a crisp, clear picture. Had to increase definition and contrast with iPhoto. That being said, my hand-drawn work is better than my digital work.

Did I do alright?

EDIT: Thanks for fixing the BBCode, Rosie.

His throat is asking a question.
Looks good I suppose. Rather odd thought. I demon who plays basketball.
If only he was black, he coulda been a globetrotter.

Look closer. Those are two separate lines. Like I said, computer camera is crappy.

Not bad ^-^

That looks like... "outline drawing". I mean, you don`t construct the body, you just draw its` outlines, as I understand. That is OK, but here`s just a warning: people often have problems with proportions because of that way of drawing.

Also, the head looks a bit weird. It`s flattened. Or he just has no forehead, IDK. And the fingers are bent in a strange way.
Try to add some shadows and volume to your next pictures (if you want to), train to draw a human`s body, especially arms and the head (again, if you want to). Sorry if I said something wrong, lol, I`m just trying to help.

Nice. Well as Ekzolol said. The head looks pretty flat. Try to picture your drawings in 3d space and see your paper as a camera or window to the drawing. It takes a while to see it but with more practice it would become second nature. Quick tips for obtaining 3 dimensionality . Apply foreshortening and overlap. very important stuff. It's still a nice drawing by the way.

I see what you are talking about with his head. He has short hair, which the top of it could have come up a bit higher.
