Hey that's looking great!

Here's a crit thought, the values are very similar across the board for the elephant, try using cooler colors and more values to push the parts further away in to the background a little more.

Your value layout seems to be a little off, I'd try pushing the background a little further away with some atmosphere, and bring the foreground closer by darkening the values of the leaves.

Overall good improvements over the sketch, just keep pushing in your next piece and see how far you can go.
