LOVE IT
I love this guy and the face he is making is one of my top faves. I think that he could use some detail in his hands, a point is fine, but maybe a thumb too or something to showcase him holding the brush. I think you also need to make the canvas a bit longer in height as it seem small or just too low to the ground, plus a background or setting would really work with this to show what he is actually painting or drawing. I think overall tho it is pretty cute and creative with the face and hat too. I love the coloring and shading you did for shadows. The mouth is pretty cute too and made me chuckle. You have shown some good progress on this piece here, and I Applaud you aswell as lots of Kudo's your way, you have good Insight on some good Rapid detail. And in closing you have some good artwork here some decent detail effort, and it shows, dont know if I can suggest any improvments but if I do you will see it, but other then that this was actually notbad and has some good effort behind it so nice job there.
~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Maybe a background with a setting that shows what he is doing, a bigger canvas, more details in the hand.
