Part of the reason the skin and hair are looking too red is that you've put it on a very warmly colored pastel paper. All colors in nature look the way they do because of the color of the light falling on them and the color of the objects around them. The boy was photographed in a very cool environment (blue/grey sky, greenery around, etc). Changing the background color to something totally opposite makes the boy's coloring look off.
