Ultimately, what it comes down to is: More practice, working on proportions, etc. The Kirby set looks like is some tweaking in proportions, otherwise it's not bad. There are plenty of good tutorials (even here) when it comes to decent pixel art.
As for anti-aliasing, I am 50/50 on the idea. It has it's uses in the right place, but if your sprite is going to work on any background, not just specific ones (dark, light, a strong hue like blue or red), I would avoid doing it along the outside of the sprite; just keep it on the inside.
