Nah, there are LOTS of buyers out there who have a real preference for realistic artwork. :) One reason you see a lot of "simpler" artwork being sold online is because it is just easier / quicker for the artists to re-create over and over again. Realistic artwork just takes longer to do.. And graphite takes longer to draw with than paint or markers (two very popular mediums), for example, because with markers and paint you can lay down a lot of color all at once.
You actually took the time to blend your graphite, where as a lot of graphite artists don't usually do that, so that would help you save a bit of time.

Lol, well I cheat, I have a blending tool, very cheap at store, and I draw fast, in order to get the shades I just did fine cross hatching, then blended. since I figured out Paypal (took forever) after it register's my bank account I'm going to start selling stuff, ou think the realistic things I should sell for $15 since they are all b-W because they are done with pure pencil?
$15 for an original piece of artwork is actually very cheap, to the point where you're drastically undercharging yourself. Perhaps you could try selling prints first? High quality prints..
But if you want to start small, with something priced low in order to bring in customers immediately, you might want to try selling things like icons or quick avatars. The worst thing you can do is undercharge yourself, so start out with something easy and fun, then work your way up. :)
