It's a good start, it just need more definition.
Here's a 48x48 portrait from a game. That's far fewer pixels than in your example, yet the character's details are able to be seen much more clearly and she's a lot more defined.
The lower resolution you go, the more that contrast and value matter, because you have to impart as much detail as possible with as little space as possible. It requires a different working mindset.
