Try to study anatomy...specifically, the character's hands look off, as do the arms - especially in their length. The ear is too far up, and the face looks flat. The folds on the flag are also really off...I found some pictures that may help you out, though!

Remember to pay attention to what is tugging on the flag...because its weight will pull it down, and the flag is attached to the top of the pole, there would be fold-lines coming from the pole, going diagonally downward on the flag.

It looks like you have the most fun when working on the smaller details in the drawing. That’s cool, nothing wrong with having good details. However, for the drawing to really take off you need to first nail down the basic structure and proportion of the figure you’re putting the details on. Maybe next time try a few gesture drawings to find the proper framework before you jump into final drawing.

Hope this helps. Keep them coming!
