There's pillow-shading all over the place. Reduce the color count and shade him with the light coming from the front and top. You can achieve a really satisfying look with two shades for each color.

The anatomy is quite good, apart from the missing chin and forehead and the (his) right leg.

hmm, pillow-shading, thats right, I'm to lazy i think, thanks.
but whats wrong with the right leg (bit long?) and the forehead is under the hat and the chin under the beard... or not? what to do?

The leg looks unnaturally twisted, IMO.

Small edit of the head:

The upper half of the pose is great, especially the arms. You have the right idea with the overall hand positions, but the fingers don't look consistant. (I wish I could help you more with hands, but I probably draw them much worse.)

The lack of chin looks fine, especially since slight caricature seems to be what you're going for.

Finally, you might want to increase the contrast on the pants. It took me a while to realize there was shading there.
