So far so good. His face is mighty flat right now though. You should use a bright highlight (like on the second one) and darken his face up below the 'nose'(like in the forst one. His eye looks like it is just a piece of loose satin. Now I've always had trouble with 'shinf' materials that were relativley flat (windows for example) but I can tell you that your highlight should be a more uniform shape like a circular highlight or a tapered dash type thing. I'd be interested in what other peaoples tips are on highlights.

All in all though it's looking good.

Does this look alittle bit better

Get rid of the cast shadow from the eye. Make the highlight much smaller and sharper. Add shading to face as whole. Use some more colors.

Its a good try but its a bit lacking in expression as well. Maybe work more on sketching and less on rendering for awhile.
