Im new in pixel art.
Have some problems with hairs.
Tried to draw hairstyle like Lara [from Tomb Raider (2013) game] had, but my drawing seems kinda bad. Any advices?
Sorry for my poor English.

Hair is good, only problem is the color is over saturated/ 2 bright.
-
Сhanged 2 colors.

All colors or just hair color?

Сhanged the palette.

The colours remind me of those blow-up sex dolls - low contrast in the skin because the doll is transluscent, ridiculously pink nipples xP Slightly higher contrast would help, and the nipples could easily use the skin shadow colours - nipples aren't particularly pink.
The hip/waist area is very smooth. The pelvis typically gives that area a more boxy shape.
Unsupported breasts don't point forward, but more to the sides. So, the nearer breast would be pretty much facing the viewer.
Her waist looks too thin. From this angle, even thin waists tend to look a bit thicker. Think of it like viewing a box from an angle - we see two sides, so the entire box looks a bit wider than any one side. Human torsos are similar, more akin to a box than to a cylinder.
Here's an edit:

I tried to shape the chest, waist and hips to be a bit more realistic, and made some small tweaks to the limbs to give them a bit more detail in their shape. In your original they shapes were very straight and low-detail, which looked at odds with the detailed shading.
I also tweaked the colours. More contrast in the skin, less saturation in the hair shadow colours.

Tried to fix accordingly to your edit.

The breasts seem to jiggle a bit too much for regular breathing.

It's not just breathing, i tried to do something like bouncy stances from fighting/platformer games.

Good blinking!
That amount of torso motion shouldn't create so much breast movement. The movement itself is well-animated, just out of place.
The bellybutton's movement feels a bit strange to me. Maybe subpixel it, have a dark-shadow trail of sorts? It moves too much.
The arms look stiff, try giving them a little side to side motion, with more movement beneath each joint (a little in the upper arm, more in the lower arm, even more in the hand). The looser the arms, the more they'll swing in this kind of motion. If they're meant to be stiff and battle-ready, then perhaps add a little bit of motion from the elbows down, have her bring her fists forward a little. A little swinging there will also make her fists feel heavier.
Forgot to add this to my previous post: If you're after realistic proportions rather than "heroic" ones, you should make her head larger as it's very small, and perhaps also shorten her legs a bit. On a real person, the crotch is approximately halfway between the top of the head and the soles of the feet. If you're after more stylised proportions, this is fine.

Proportions:

Your center point is below the crotch, so her legs are long. And she's 8 heads tall, that's quite tall. Again, this is all fine if you're going for that kind of stylization.
The knees look too low. In my edit I have them a pixel higher, I think that looks better.
-
Fixed knees, crotch and hands.

Arms and legs seem a little chunky. A hair idea?
