You should show us the full size version of your work in progress...
And if I can give you a tip... It would be to just start with a layer and only make the outlines first... Then add the colors on a layer under them...
It's easier and then you don't need to mind the superposition of the colors...
If you want some other advices about vectoring you can check on this tutorial. It's the one I used to start vectoring and I already got a lot of nice comments about that vector... So well take a look on it! :D
For the jaggy lines, some of them are not trace yet...it is just a maker...so it is normal ^^.
So here the picture I am using for my vector :

How many times did you stretch the original picture before starting the vector work?
i'm half-vectoring a scan now too! this vector is very cool!!
For the picture I didn't strech it...I found it that way...
Thanks everyone for the comment ^^ I really appreciate :)

You should stretch the image at least 300% and use that version to do your vector... Why? Because when you do that, the edges will be sharp and well cut and then will look jaggy... But then again when you'll resize it down to fit your wall, all the jaggyness will disappear! :D Isn't that great? You can try out that trick easily... I don't think it's written in the tutorial of the link but that's a friend of mine how told me to do so ... And she knows a lot about vectoring... So try that and you'll see the difference! ^_^

The lines are still pretty jaggy and you gonna need to pass by that step if you want smooth lines for your vector...
But don't worry... You can stretch it at the end... You stretch it, add the colors in the shapes on the edges then you resize it down to the original size... You'll see it looks much better.
Good luck! :)

And here my signature base on that vector:
Rei Signature
So, like I said, I'll try to correct the errors (jaggy lines) in this vector and sometime I will make a wallpaper base on this vector and maybe I'll submit it on Anime Paper :D.
But maybe for a vector it's a bit small to really comment on the vector technique...
I'm wondering if those black stuff on her bosom are really looking nice.. Why not use a dark grey? Just a thought :)
And the signature looks great ^^
Good Luck~
