I am having deja vu. Did you just take off the hat and add a coffee cup?

Try carving the shadow around the form. Or the light around the form.

I did copy the leg shadows and I actually tried to make my own arm but I couldn't make anything better
So I did copy it :( but I did try
And what do you mean about "carving the shadow around the form. Or the light around the form"
I'm quite new to pixel art
Sorry...

We aren't really supposed to go into painting fundamentals but here's the short of it.

When you shade an object it's darker where less light hits it and brighter where light hits it.
You also get hue changes. So say a red object might have purple shadows and orange highlights.

This is how you create form. Even in pixel art.
