I think the shadows in the face should be a darker shade of the skin rather than black - it makes the face look very unnatural to me. As well, I agree with Olivia in blending in the shadow on the left side of his face.
What is he supposed to be wearing? Gauze? I would suggest looking up references of how the fabric can be wrapped around the figure, because the curves don't feel natural to me. You might also consider adding the texture to the gauze to make it more obvious that they're the wrappings similar to mummy wrappings. I would lastly make the gauze more of a yellowed color than stark white (like this picture: http://msnbcmedia2.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/100519-science-bandages-bcol-930a.grid-6x2.JPG)
One thing I notice w/ both Barakacorn and Washimummy is that they both pull down to the left. If you look at the chins I feel like the perspective is warped as you follow their chin down and to the left. This is probably because you are painting on a desk (flat surface). As you are sketching out and painting, keep holding your piece up to look at it straight on to make sure the perspective isn't altering too much (beyond what you intend).
I also like the idea of adding some texture to the gauze. Maybe we can find something to stamp a little bit of texture (here and there) to help pull out some texture if you decide to go that route.
jack- i think this looks good, i think you should try and blend the shadow on the face in a little better. but i like your new concentration.

colors a little forced, maybe mess with alternative color.
