Hey oxiso,
Did a paintover of your painting.
First thing I noticed was that the hand wasn't really holding the egg.
If he just dropped it, I'd put the hand up higher. Added some more shade to show that he's actually holding it.
Then, the face, you should push your cast shadows a little more.
The top eyelids will cast shadow, the nose will cast some shadow, the lips that way will cast shadow.
I didn't touch the ears, because I thought that was a style choice to make them nearly pendicular with the head. In normal ears, that'll be in a 20-30 degree angle and not 90 ;-)
Looks fun though, just a few more tweaks and you'll be done :-)

Are you wanting to keep the exaggerated facial features? The hair makes me think it's supposed to look like a cartoon.
I only ask because if it's supposed to look exaggerated I wouldn't want to do a paintover and make it look more realistic.
