What do you think?
Should something be added?
Or should something be removed?
Is something too big/small?
Colored version att soon as I get good color-pencils.

I like this and can't wait to see what you will do with colour.
I'm not sure if that is the head or foot of the bed tho - but you may need to put an end on if you want your char to lay down or it might look funny. I like the wall - it looks like a ghost with a radio strapped to his noggin'.

A very good start.Ã,  But like Mr_Frisby posted, can't wait to see it in color.

But the gun on the floor looks huge!!

It's actually a soft air gun ;)
You're supposed to pick it up, cause you will be needing it in the game.

If you're supposed to pick it up, you'd better remove it and add it as a sprite.

From the complete lack of depth, perspective and proportions I assume that you're fairly young (no offense!) so I won't go into more details now.

A general advice would be to try to clean it up a bit and experiment with the composition to create a more room-like feeling to it.

Perhaps look at some 3-Dimensional drawings, (do a google (http://www.google.com/)), and maybe that will give your picture some more depth. I dunno if this was intended, and if it was I don't particularly like it, is that not everything in life is curved.

Example:

I whipped this up in 5 min, it's really bad but should give you an idea...
