This is pretty bad, dude, you are just placing pixels everywhere to give an impression it's an elaborate pixel art, but pixel art is about being economic in pixels and colors.

You make the same mistake as most beginners who go into pixel art, who think they can jump in and be good at it because it's a very small medium, so they don't have to work on anatomy or on rendering as much, yet be getting good results because of the small resolution, but it's quite the contrary, it involves more care and attention to detail to place the pixels in the right places.

This pixel art is lacking from the basis of the drawing and up, the figure looks really stiff and boring, legs and shoulders too wide, non existent face because of muh style, boring colors, lacking specially a clear light source, that would guide the light and shadows, instead of it just being wherever you feel like it.

I'd suggest you to read this tutorial, learn how to draw lines in pixel art, then the techniques of rendering paintings and all that basic stuff:

Also a pretty good article about pixel art in general:
