I did an edit for you,
I added more contrast between the grey shades, and used shading to show the folds of the sheet (where the front of the head meets the body, his back) rather than the black lines.
I also added some shading to his feet, hat, and bow tie.
With the outlines, it looked like you were trying to replicate the paper mario style thick outlines, but all you ended up doing was making the outline look jaggy, so I made them all single pixel thickness, and used coloured outlines inside the sprite.
On the ribbons on his hat, I added some anti-aliasing (adding lighter coloured pixels around the outline) to make it smoother.
Hope that helps
