The face has a few issues. The first is contrast. Some of the colours on it are hard to see because they blend into the brown. Try moving them further from that colour. You also need to work on your shading. The scarf is okay, but the head and body are just shaded around the edges - that's not how light works.
When shading, don't just shade for the sake of it, think about how it can add depth and definition to your work. On top of that, the best way to shade is to consider a light source (which you haven't, since the head's light source is from above, the scarf's is from the top right and the body's is from the left). It can help sometimes to draw a little sun to indicate where the light is coming from. You then need to shade according to how that light source would interact with your object. Remember, you may be drawing a 2D sprite, but you're trying to represent a 3D object, so pay attention to light sources.
