Drawing like a pro takes practice, patience, time, and study of art principles such as shading, proportion and perspective. You'll need to continue drawing, and you will get better over time.

Will anyone will like my character?

It doesn't matter what others think as long as you love how it looks. Having other people like it is just a bonus.

Okay, just make sure you don't try to make this stuff your own, like you started all this, because it takes money to copyright something, so to be on the safe side, just share it.
