When you can make a single sprite look good, then you can move onto a sheet.

you dont even know how to shade nor how to do a proper outline.
you havent even tried to do something more complex than a pink ball with the same face pasted over.

I'm probably wrong on my reasoning here, but here's why I agree with Meta: Sometimes you just hit a wall with a sprite(s). Shelve those sprites for now, and come back later after you've made a few others. More complex sprites often use large amounts smaller curves, which should help you get the technicals down a bit more. Plus if you've pushed yourself you are almost guarenteed to have learned something in the process.
Often people will take a look at older sprites they've made, and suddenly not only will they be able to see a lot more things wrong with it, but they'll know exactly how to go about fixing it. The extra experience and experimentation they have under their belt goes a lot way.
The short versionMeta's right, work on something more complex to get some more experience under your belt, and come back to the Kirby's later.
