I Love Seeing People Get Into Art!!!! - Tumblr Posts
You're open to criticism, but keep in mind that the ideas I share are based entirely on my own thoughts/experience. In the end, it's up to you to decide how you want the end result of your art to look (so take my words with a grain of salt.) This is what I think:
----
In general, I like to recommend that beginner artists study realistic human anatomy-- like photos of people (it helped me as a kid and is the backbone of any human-based art style).
But, ignoring that piece of advice, (cuz it's BORING), my first thought is that the big eyes in your drawing are absolutely adorable. If you want to play into an adorable/cute art style, I'd recommend looking at the character design of the Powerpuff Girls and how you can apply what you see there to this drawing. (If you don't want to lean into a cartoonish/anime style, disregard everything I'm about to say.)
For example: the powerpuff girl, Blossom, has a dramatically large bow. Applying this to your drawing of Scott, you might make the crystals/stars around his head more large/cartoonish, with one end of the crystal fatter and the other end extremely pointy. This is one way to apply this idea.
And Scott's hair can be given the same treatment-- Bubbles, for example, has very simple, yet exaggerated, pigtails. In general, you already seem to understand the basic shape of his hair, but emphasizing that can really enhance a drawing.

Image Examples:
You can see that the artists use the same principle in different ways-- by finding a way to exaggerate the shape of Scott's hair in their own unique style, where the swoops and curves of the hair are defined and easy to see. (Luckily, there are many ways people draw Scott's hair, so you basically have free reign in this department with few ways to go astray.)
It's up to you how exaggerated you want things to be, or how finicky you get with the details, or how soft/hard you want the line art to be. You can already make a recognizable drawing of a specific character, so it's more about working on the finer details at this point for you-- that means you're halfway there!
I hope this was of some help to you and that you can make sense of this messy nonsense :)
These are the links to the fanart that I used as examples: cinncboo, syneester, and itsoddissey
Good luck in all your future art endeavors!
