This is a pretty poorly put together visual of the point I'm trying to make.

Also I zoomed in and drew around this area.
After fixing the outlines, you should take out those dark bits. It makes the outer edges look kinda static-y. |

(I hope I'm making sense).
Second thing - the neckline could use some work - I yellow lined it (since redlining would have blended into the shirt)...you can bring the part by the neck UP a little bit. Then you should get rid of the extra pixels like I was talking about in point one...
Make sense?
We are fixing shape before we fix shading.

For now, I would use just the darkest shade of red, shade 6, for the outline and shade the outline later
Here is an example:
doubling it makes it look too thick
