It's looks a good start, but a recomendation to try and block out the whole head before getting tempted to get too detailed or you might find you run into problems finishing the head.
I would like to see a wireframe of the mesh before making any comments about the modeling, are you paying attention to your edge loops?

To many lines, looks good at some points but makes it messy on the large scale.

And yes I'm not the one to say really as I've been known to have a few to many lines on several occasions. user added image

Hi anasasis, much more lines like Weyu said. But it's good start (I haven't head model yet) and some more need fixs. I think you can make a low head model after with zbrush details. keep up!

not to beat a dead horse, but I definitely agree with the above. There are a ton of edges where there are no real forms being described. All they're doing is making your life harder! I model poly-by-poly as well, but not at the full detail. It's quite easy to divide parts of your mesh further if necessary, but it can become a pain to do the reverse.

I'd recommend starting over with minimal edgeloops necessary to create the form. For a cartoony character especially, it'll make everything a lot easier for you.
