Hi guys, a portrait for the challenge:

What do you think? what can/should I improve, and what would be your visions on something like this? Please tell/show me, id love to learn ;)
The yellow numbers remind me of how many colors I have left in each part, I wished I had more left in the bottom right corner :(.. (so I can do one color extra for the scarf, and keep the extra color for the eye)
NEW VERSION

Scarf definitely needs moar detail. Use that extra color in the bottom left to AA and add more shadings. Get rid of a skin color on bottom right so you can use the color from bottom left to also AA and more detail. :D Background shouldn't be visible where the hair parts at his forehead. What's up with the pinkish line things at top and left? Backgrounds a bit plain, but its looking good ;)

I really have no idea what to do with that scarf.. I might need to get rid of it, but then I have to think of another way to make this thing interesting after all..
Why do you find AA so important? AA is in my opinion only possible if I have a color that is already there anyway..
I now have 2 spare colors in the bottom right corner, and I am not sure yet where I need to go with this. Any suggestions?
