I like it, I'm guessing this a drawn over cartoon right? Take a photo as a reference and then draw over it? I like the style, however I think it wouldn't be too hard to add some basic cartoon shading, make your Photoshop brush 50% opacity with black and then draw over shaded areas as things like the nose, a lot of it's definition comes from shadows so it would be wise to add some shadows onto it, also means that if you use a cartoon for a later video thumbnail you could pose in more epic looking scenarios and be able to add more awesome lighting effects and what not. :p

it's looking good! :) maybe make the lines a bit thinker so they're more the size of the last one you did as cartoons normally have thinker outlines and such :)
and again maybe work with the pen tool to create the lines and curves? it looks to me as if you're doing it by hand?
