How do I make the skin look less ghost-like?
It also feels like the hair and the skin belong to different works or something. The skin just doesn’t blend/go smoothly with the hair. Especially in the cheek and ear area
Appreciate any tips

I would say the hair is quite good, the drawing of the face is fine, but the rendering of the face is where you're tripping up. For one I'd consider flattening out the shading, especially on the cheekbone. I'd say typically male lips arent that red, even womens's lips probably naturally arent. But I think the biggest issue is the greyish blue tint you have going on in the skin. A bit of blue under the skin can help suggest stubble around the bottom half of the face but other parts of the face have other colours that should show through, like red across the cheeks, and yellow on the forhead. I'd guess maybe the colour you built off of was too blue to begin with. You could try adding an adjustment layer over the skin to try maybe adding in some more red and take out some of that blue.
I'm jealous of how good that hair looks, I'd just focus on taking some of the blue/grey out of the flesh.

Thanks a ton for the feedback, in hindsight I shouldn’t have made my base color a cool grey. I’ve never heard of yellow on the forehead, I’ll def try that (and also the red cheeks)
And thank u for the hair compliment, I draw a lot of inspiration from Takeshi Obata so I’m glad to hear I’m on the right track w that

Here's a good diagram to help explain the colour zones better. I just find it helpful to keep in mind, especially when I find the face colours getting wierd.

you only got greys running on the face and no stronger tone to counter that
