Looks nice, Mike. Hopefully you sent it to Adam for his feedback. I am enjoying the overall feel and the way you are using your colors.
Right now my main concerns are with two things. First, I don't read the bubbles as a rush coming from his mouth- it feels like they are behind his head. Second, the delicate contrast between the gums and the teeth are nice, but since that tongue is so dark in comparison I feel like it might be overwhelming. I'm thinking that if the gums that are the inside of the mouth are a bit darker (somewhere in the middle between the value of the close gums and the tongue) it will flow better and help us read that space.
Hopefully you got an enthusiastic "awesome!" from Adam. Let's see what your classmates add...
There's something I find odd about the ear, the shape or the color, or perhaps both. It's just so starkly pink against the other skin tone that it doesn't seem connected. I really like the pink tone in the nose, but not so much in the ear. Also, with his hair pointing up from his forehead he looks like he's sinking while his position looks more like swimming upward.
I love the light spatter of red around his mouth, it's just subtle enough while being a really fun detail when you look close.

i also agree with lauren's comment about the mouth color. tho i see it as an easy fix and i dont think its too much to handle.
