I've got a couple drawings in my gallery.
My scanner is, well.......
For the flatness issue - try getting a few pencils of different hardness of the graphite. (like a wider range) If one uses a fairly hard pencil alone, it tends to flatten the image, because your tone range is too narrow.
Also - I would recommend trying to get a hold of a book on drawing and reading through the theory of drawing form in light. Andrew Loomis' books are excellent and I think they're now downloadable online for free.
Or you can just use one pencil, it's not that big of a deal.
I'm sure a beginner's book would have some pointers about those.
