by the looks your still not doing things pixel by pixel, which is leading to inconsistently shaped outlines.
as mentioned by Meta, you have little contrast bad shading and a very floppy anatomy.
I'd advise you start again by first planning out your proportions, you wont need to do this with every pic you do, but as long as you get some practice with it your following works will show.
while doing this, remember to zoom in and use a single pixel brush anything more and you will get jaggies and mess everywhere.
Also remember that a jaggy can be avoided by consistency, which is easy when you give your lines patterns,
E.G.
down 3 across 1, down 2 across 1, down 1 across 1, down 1 across 2, down 1 across 3, etc. for a curve ofc.
after you have your proportions begin the outline using those proportions, also outline any outstanding forms, such as the spikes, eye brows, pelvis, knees, elbows, fists etc.
purely for reference when shading, try not to get jaggies here either. I won't advise on shading just yet, getting the characters overall form is most important right now.
