This is my first ever attempt using paint brush, nothing else used other than Photoshop and my mouse, well it's actually a draft as I do not know how to add finishing touches i.e. around the edges colouring etc I personally feel like it came out great but I thought I'd ask for you guys opinions on what I can do to improve. Here is the final result;

I give it 10/10 really.

The fact that its your first try amazes me, most people would pretty much end up with a Circle,2 dots and some random colors lol not to be funny or anything but thats pretty much what happens.

I like the style of it(the whole Skull thing)really love Skulls!Im not very skilled at using the Paint Brush but it came out looking pretty sweet if you ask me. Not sure whats up with the whole green part tho looks like the bottem half of Early Cuyler from Squidbillies lol

I would say put some cracks in the head and darken the lines of the whole skull/cracks like if they threw a brick at him , also with the eyes, i think it would look more nicer if you fully colored the red all the way to the edges and maybe get rid of the green part(perhaps add like a broken jaw?) and lastly the right side of the head looks a bit off and really messes with the look, try to mirror the left portion of the skull to fit it perfect, but if you cant do that, try your best you never know what might come out

I really like it TBH it came out great!

Unlike the others, it doesn't appeal to me at all.
I don't think it looks very good, in fact it looks very amateurish and low quality to me.

First of all, what exactly is it?
If it's a skull? I'd suggest looking at some reference images, because it doesn't look like a skull to me.

The lines could use some work. It looks very sloppy.
You should look more into what skulls look like, and get it down right.
The lines are all off, if its supposed to be a skull.

The coloring looks very sloppy and rushed.
The shading is light and soft. It just looks smudged to me.
You should definitely work on harder, more accurate shading, and lighting.
There's no lighting, and lighting almost always brings a piece together 10x better.

The green stuff at the bottom...
If that's supposed to be some sort of oozing liquid,
I would suggest making it look more like a liquid...
Round off the sharp edges, and give it some gloss.

I agree with everything in your post.

Back @OT:
You still need a lot of practice and work. Because even though this work is probably good looking to you...this still needs a lot of work done to it.

Also, the text at the bottom of your work is far to close to the drawing. It makes it look crowded.

Look I clearly stated that it was a first attempt, it's not like I am going to be top-notch designer from start. Also I don't know if I added it was a simple draft, not a final design it was supposed to be like that. I know it's called constructive critiscm but cut me some slack, did I really deserve such a arrogant reply to a simple thing I thought of in a few minutes? Thank you everyone for the feedback though, I knew from the beginning it wasn't a great materpiece, but it was my first attempt
