Better, you can put some extra folds in his shoulder neck cloth thing (scarf?).
Draw your lightsauce yo. Will be easier once you start shading( Strength, light direction).
Imo use higher specter of colours, stronger darker and lighter tones. Under his rib cage it should be much darker.
If light comes from left top, shades at his feet are wrong.

yes its a scarf.

thx for the advice and guiding.

slunko you are the man

What has blue skin? Grab a few avatar references, they'l help. its the first thing that comes to mind.

Spot on, example:


You shouldn't render objects like they were completely flat (X -- light value - gradient - dark value -- X). You have to bring out the shapes using your palette and light source:
