Could you tell me your opinions about my sketch? . I would like to improve in my technique!.
Thank you!

sketch While standing in the spot you want to sketch. Don’t rely on a picture. Besides that, pay attention to the weight of the ink and how you layer and cross strokes. Best to focus on shadows using just black ink instead of colouring everything with blunt coloured pencils.

this is nice, elegant and clear. i don't think you need to impress anything specifically. keep practicing!
try looking for different kinds of scenes to sketch, and try sketching at a fast speed without rulers to see what comes out. you seem to have the basic skills fully worked out - the rest is just developing a feel for what you enjoy through practice.

All I'd say is to have some (more) variation and hierarchy in those black lines, and just keep at it.

It's like a ligne claire-ish cartoon. Love me some Tintin.
Good job.

Overall a good job! Keep doing it and you'll figure things out.
As others have said use line weights to create depth - thicker closer to you, thinner farther away.
Try using various types of lines as well - fore example with the plantings, those lines can be looser and don't have to create a perfect outline. Allow them to overlap, have breaks, ect.
When denoting materials keep in mind you don't have to use your black marker to show siding, masonry, ect. Try using a colored or graphite pencil. This will help create a more tonal effect that has more depth.
For windows - pay attention to how we actually seem them in real life. We see the contrast of the shadow and reflection , aka they are shades back / grey if not illuminated.
People - this can be a tough one. I like to use silhouette outlines of people to add activity and scale to the drawings. One thing I found helpful early on was to actually trace photos of people into my sketches (more for trace paper sketches).

You've got a good hand, good line quality, and an eye for detail.
But... If everything is rendered and lined equally, no specific thing is important. Nothing jumps out. What do you want the viewer to be paying attention to? What do you care about?
So, as others have noted, think about line weight and how to vary it, think about levels of detail and focus, and think about how far/evenly you render things.
