Off to a good start. Like I mentioned in your other post, you need more contrast/form in there. A helpfull idea is to pick a lightsource, usually above the model. Then go in and pull out the shadow,highlights, form, etc Keeping in mind where the light will fall, which areas will be the brightest and which ones will be the darkers, in accordance with your light source.
Face is looking good, some nice flesh tones in there.
For his eyes, you might want to get some heavy shadows above them, this occurs becuase of things like eyelashes and the aforementioned light source. Also helps in making his look more relaxed and less "oh my god I just ran over someone" aka stunned
Looking at photos to work out how to paint features correctly can also be beneficial.
Some more defintion to the yellow thing on his forehead would help as well bring that out as well, though Im not sure if its metal or not.
Goodluck with it :)
