Hi! It's good fun to make pixel art of things that inspire you! I have a few ideas you might try.

You have both white outlines and dark outlines around your shapes. I think you only need one, and removing the white outline gives you more pixels to draw your shapes and make them easier to read. It might look "cleaner" as well.

You're using lots of similar shades of some colours, like black/dark grey. The original image uses shades of red, yellow, blue and black that are the same throughout the image. They only change for the highlights: the shine on letters and water. (And they change for the gradient on the text.)

I would try making all blacks the same shade (same for all the other colours) then, when you've finished, just add touches of lighter shades for shine and reflections. Again, it should make things look "cleaner".

In the original, the album title is a lot wider than the glasses. In yours it's a similar width. Because you have so few pixels to work with, the text is difficult to read. You could try making that text wider.

I have some more ideas and edits if any of this is helpful or if you're interested.

Hi Chonky Pixel,
All things you advised me are so much helpful. Thank you so much. I noted it down.
I'm on the way that I have learn pixel art only by myself. I just feel it and do it freely (finding suitable color, own style, etc and sometimes it was not good as I thought  :( )
But maybe, after I finish this series, I would apply all your advices to improve my new arts  ;D
.
I feel happy that someone noiticed and helped me like this. Please pass by my (news) topics in the future  ;D :y:
Thank you again !!!

It is better to pick one work you want critique on, rather than dump of lots of art.

It would help people appreciate your art better if you posted it at 1x (pixel-perfect) rather than blurry upscaled screenshots, too. Screenshots like make edits very difficult, but edits are a big part of explaining critiques for pixel art.
