Note to self: top of head needs to be flat and more angled (this is to be an african elephant not asian)

maybe it's me but the head looks a little flat
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

With a cartoon piece you have to exhadurate the unique features. What can you find that makes a baby elephant look like a baby elephant, what features are the most important to highlight.
Often, half of any art is strong planning and forethought, hold back for a bit and think about all the things you want to capture here, and how you can go about doing that.
I think you need a stronger sense of what the result is going to be, realistic or stylised. If it is stylised then how, there are many ways to do a 'cartoony' elephant.
Once you know that, its then the time to research and collect reference and then step back into maya.

I don't know if you missed LauriePriest's post, or just ignored it, but he made some very good points.
what you have so far look good to me.

i've never seen a baby elephant and i haven't seen an elephant long enough to analyse it, but the ears look cool... they should be uber enlarged so he can fly!
am i wrong to have assumed Laurie is only a girl's name?
He/she came across to me as a dude...
