I'm not a pxl art veteran,but I'll try to give you some advice:
-Add some highlight on the face and try to avoid using black outlines inside the shape
-I'd also add more shadow on her  right shoulder and turn the right arm a bit more to the inside or make it larger.
-Also use some dithering and highlight in diagonal stripes on the wrench to make it look more like its made of metal
Very nice work,pose and shading,keep improving it

Hello Pixophile.

I'll try to help you a bit.

First some things i think you did that i think are nice:
-You experimented with hue shifting on some parts.
-The angle of the head is really interesting, makes it feel intense
-The design is simple but interesting(She would make a cool game character)

And here's some things that you might want to try differently:
-You are being really conservative with your hue shifts and darker tones, try to be a little bolder.
-The lines inside the forms could be removed if you try to separate masses and forms with contrast.
-The background is really noisy, as is the hair.
-Try to keep the flow of the pixels in a soft logical pattern
-Your anatomy was a bit distorted so I moved some features and made the hand smaller.

Here's some notes I've made:


And here's a paint over I did to show you how I would change it:


Hope it helps.
