Hello mate, welcome to the forum!

If this is your first character, it is very well made, he has a nice cartoon style, also a nice topology. The only thing I think you need to improve is the jaw bone in the side view, you may want to look at some references to see how it must be placed. Also... I think you need to improve a little bit the ear, it is so flat!
Other than that, your character looks very nice. Keep it up :dance:

thanks vitrux for taking interest! :)

yes jawline was disturbing me a lot too to be honest, so surely will look into it. i wanted to make a very simple ear with very simple structure, i couldnt really understand what does flat mean? does it mean he dsnt have the inside skin or ..... still not getting it.

Yes, it is much better now!.. mmm... for the ear i meant that it maybe should have a better shape, but you're rigth if you want to keep it simple. I don't have much experience in cartoon style, so from that point of view you can keep it like that :)
