The use of orange as background is an interesting choice.

The head seems unnaturally flat, as if there’s no lighting on it. You’re showing two light sources based on the cast shadow on the floor, but one is a main light and the other a fill light, and we should see that on the head too. Even when the lighting is more diffused, there still needs to be a sense of volume to the forms, and your character’s head needs a bit more form shadows to convey that.

Also, the direction of the cast shadows don’t align with the actual form shadows on the character too well. Need to pay more attention to that.
