About the mailbox you should fix the rounding on the top and try to use this blue color for outline than black line it should look better. Details : Bigger news paper on the right + highlight and shadows

Thanks a load for the critique Zenon, I'm doing this for a project and the art style they're going with is black outlines so I decided to keep that. I especially appreciate you taking the time out of your day to give an example of what you meant. I was realllly struggling with highlights and shading.

About highlights and shading :
Here are some websites that can help you and I'm woundering is it necessary to make this mailbox in 200x180 pixels ? It's really a big size

I took away the thick lines and used Derek's pixel tutorial for the highlights. I also made the size smaller, 56 x 80 I think? Thanks for the links by the way, beforehand I was really struggling to make the round top of the mailbox.
