If I were you, I'd start with some thumbnails, lots and lots of thumbnails, until you nail down the composition. If your composition isn't solid, then there is nothing you'll be able to do to make the piece look right. It'll also help to look at other paintings with similiar subject matter. You'll get to see how others handled this subject. There are plenty of old master painters with people looking at their own reflection in a mirror/water/etc and you might get some cool ideas from those. Can also look at modern artists, illustrators, etc. Hell if its an old master, don't be afraid to outright steal a composition . Master studies are one of the best methods for learning this kind of thing. As far as specific feedback goes, going by the sketch, your composition is pretty cramped. Be careful about having the edges of objects (especially important ones) touch the edge of your canvas. You need to either add more space around the outside (make the objects smaller) or you can make the objects bigger and have them run off the edge. Do a lot of quick thumbnails, try a bunch of stuff out and go with whatever works the best. Once you have a composition that works, you'll have a much easier time finishing the piece and ending up with something that you'll like.
