Suggestions
Hello,
It looks like you are really close to being done! Just a few finishing touches would make an improvement. I think the suggestions above are good. The nose is slightly short and that stands out the most to me. The upper lip could use a small shadow to set the teeth back away from the curve of the lip.
As I flipped back and forth between your subject and painting I also noticed the top of the head could use a little attention. The roundness of his head, where the hair meets the scalp could use a little more tweaking. It is a little flat where his hair stands up in the back. One idea I have been working on is looking how the light falls in patterns (when dealing with hair). And then think about how those patterns define the round/oval head underneath.
Don't despair! It is good and it is almost done.
