I have a few sites that help me with art and palettes:
This site has lots of (higher resolution) pixel art tutorials that I use now and then.
This is a lower resolution site with tons of useful tutorials.
This is a site that has tons of palettes, odds are you can find a palette that suits your needs.

Improvement is a slow and often uneven process, you just always gotta recognise your own progress even if it feels like you are still stuck. I would highly recommend using Saint11โs tutorials, they helped me a lot starting out. My list of resources can be found here: Lukeโs Pixel Art Essentials! 
One major thing is that if you ever need to draw something unfamiliar, just take a few secs to google and pull up a reference (we know what something is, but we rarely remember every detail that makes it feel real)
Finally, here are some graphs that I love a lot and help me thru lows

The dithering seems too different cause the color are very different shades so that could be an issue

Looks great! Love the colours. Something worth considering is the use of linework
in small resolutions, there isnt many pixels to work with. This means that simply outlining everything can result in a lot of the total area of the sprite being linework (this can make it harder to read from afar and also reduce the space for character details)
Outlines are very important tho, especially when there isnโt much to play with. I strike a balance between shaded/broken and more defined linework.
For interior transitions (like with the bottom of the face and the body) I usually donโt outline because it gives me more room for the body and face.
The interior lines are also a good place to have anti aliasing as if you do aa on the outer parts it may not look right with different backgrounds.
