Best choice for skin color, use soft colors as natural color, same with color skin in photograph. Usually color for skin is consists of 3 to 5 colors combinations. See picture below about 4 color combinations in this vector

Chose the color of mouth as possibly natural color too for Lips and tongue. Use basic red color from dark red to light red color then chose the color of hair from black to gray color

Use color for line difference from basic color photograph, like this vector I make this line with red color for User Interface. The choice for Stroke Line use type Hair Line Stroke.

At the piece of body create detail of body like texture of cloth, folds of cloth, figure of hand etc.

For maximal coloring can use combination Gradient Color. The Gradient Color will be make a real vector.
