I know this drawing isn't that great because I've seen so many awesome drawings out there. I just want to know if this drawing would be worth even $20 if I framed it and did some touch ups.
Any criticism is welcome.

What drawing? Your photo didn't post or you forgot to add it!
$20 for a framed drawing sounds reasonable, depending on where you are selling it. Things always sell better if they are among a selection. If you took a dozen or so of your drawings to a garage sale (the kind where you pay for a pitch), you might sell a few, which would be worth while.

sorry, the attachment didn't work for some reason. How about my default avatar picture?

I was wondering whether you were referring to your avatar picture. It seems to have style and, perhaps, someone will like it enough to have it hanging on their wall. The 'value' of a picture is relative to a lot of things! A buyer's confidence is increased immensely if he/she sees a number of drawings by the same artist together. It carries the message that here is someone who is serious about their work and who has an individual style. It also gives them a choice: not everyone likes the same thing and you are more likely to make a sale if you have a selection of drawings.

$20 and a frame sounds reasonable but it depends on the size of the photo. :) My family purchased art work with colored paint for over $50 bucks w/ frame. It depends what you draw too

good point, this one is 9x11 inch. I remember my mom bought a piece about this size for about the same, it was in ink and it was more of a cartoonish piece.
I guess I should look at art fairs to see how people price their work.

From my experience, it depends (somewhat) on the size. Is this a regular sheet of paper, or larger? Framing can be expensive sometimes, depending on where you get the frame.
All I really have to go on is your avatar pic, but if that's an example of what you can do, then I'd say you have some talent. ;)
I think you could get between $15-25 for the pictures, but again, that depends on the size and frame ... and who is looking at them. Good luck!
