I gotta say, you've done a pretty job, this is a cheerful character at first glance
On anatomy, I think you're going im the right direction, perhaps just the two red circles are looking kind of off. Hands are always complicate to understand with so many joints and pressure points to use, but try to make'em real simple and into basic shapes.Also, keep a close look at the angle at which you're working, you've placed the hands in the right position, tho not the right angle of view, your character is at 3/4 view, so should the rest of his body, unless of course you want it to look broken. That's for the hand near to his face, and although the one on the hips also has an uncomfortable looking posing, it is correctly placed. I just swithced from palm to back, et voilá. Look for the most simplest way to place everything, don't stress yourself or the character ;D
Over the rest of the boy, there's only minor details I'd like yo suggest like:
- The end of the ribcage is the narrowest place on the torso, use that to highlight the posture of your character
- Shoulders go inside the torso, so draw the silhouette for the back and place the shoulder in
- Try to make legs of the same lenght, I think you were trying to use foreshortening here, but the simplest way is the best

On the shadows and lights, I like the way you started this, simple and focused.
On this part, the trick is to keep the light source always in mind.. As you can see, only the tail was a teensy bit underlighted
Also, don't be afraid and use more than 2 colors on shadows, that makes them richer to the eye and builds up the illusion of reflectiveness in between materials, besides, of course, adding volume and perspective to your drawing
