It looks like you used gradients built-in to Photoshop or whatever you are using (I hope not Photoshop for pixel art).

You should only use the pencil tool, on rare occasions perhaps burn tool, only if you know what you're doing.

So basically, fix the colors. Make them more "Zone Style". Fix the shading, don't use gradients.

Also, add a texture. It looks perfect like it was polished and just came out of the factory.

The track also looks weird, perhaps too big?

ok just to get this clear,
yes ok i need to work on the shading,
but i feel insulted that you think i just used a gradient in photoshop.
I Pixeled everything in paint by hand.
Just to let you know.

Your shading shows no type of form or lighting... you just made one side dark and the other side light.

You should sit down with a pencil and paper and draw basic shapes like a ball, or apple and such. Learn how light interacts with objects.

It's about on the same level. Pillow shading and what you're doing both show lack of knowledge of lighting and form.
