The man looks wonderfully rendered, as does the guitar he's holding. The sketchiness of the lines and the odd splotches of color really work well with the blobby plants in the background. I especially like how from a short distance away the plants look fairly realistic. The color palette you used is really nice too.
There's relatively little to critique. Despite being drawn well the pose looks really staged. He's pretty much at the viewer's eye level, and his torso is facing directly towards us, so it feels like he's posing for an album cover. It takes a lot of the dynamism out of his head and the arm he's shading his eyes with.
That could be easily ignored. The main problem is that the background is really flattening out the piece. You got these vivid blotches of color, and a nice area of dark to anchor the whole scene. It looks flat because the colors don't really intermingle, which is a shame, it would have been neat to see a blobby, splotchy background that ties in with the rest of the piece.
