should avoid to shade from the outside to the inside of a shape, that serves no purpose and doesn't really add any volume to your character(and rather makes him look way more flat than it should). not to mention trying to AA an outline without a fixed background(this is, using a transparent background) totally ruins any attempt to make it look smoother.
if you're going to use a dark color to outline your work, try to be sure to use it everywhere or not use it at all. it seems that you got lazy on the doll and just threw whatever thing you had at hand for hair. it really makes everything look unfinished and rushed(and that sucks when you actually took your time to do it)
anatomy itself is another point. proportions are off, his structure is wonky wich means that your character basically has no bones at all.
and you're using 32 colors.
