The mouth is oddly shaped, and the cheeks aren't right... but other than that it's good!

You don't need all this shades.
And the shadow is wrong for a round shape.
There is no perspective whatsoever.

Othe than that it is fine
I wonder why you made it, hm... D:

I'm using as many shades as I can, to make it look smoother,... and because I nevr tried it. How should the shading be? There isn't supposed to be perspective.

The eyes are a bit too round shaped for Kirby. As you can see in this picture, they're supposed to be long and less roundish:

But maybe you want to keep it like that.

Shades, they are too much, a waste, and they make the outline look bad. It would be more smoother with less shade, imo. You could use some AAing, maybe?
The Shadow could be lower, can't explain right, but like this:

Perspective, it must have, I mean, it isn't like some things have perspective and some doesn't, like, what?

Oh, and, the image Damian showed:

Well, the shadow is staying the same, because of where the light source is. I'll lower the amount of shades (I'm just experimenting with new things). I'm keeping the eyes this shape, but I'm definitely going to change the mouth.

This whole thing is just for me to experiment with different variables, that I have never tried.

Still working on the speed:

AA practice. 5 shades.

THAT'S what AA is! I get it now.
good job ;D

Anti-aliasing, you could've just googled it.

The AA is good, but it is too apparent, try to make it smoother.

Yeah. Haven't done much with AA, so it's still not the best. I try to fix it.

Tadah!

7 shades.
Black isn't used.

OH WAR HAR HAR!

I like it.

they have programs for this, don't waste you time. Its too much, like its blurred.

Yes, but until I learn how to use those programs, I'm just going to do this.
And practice is never a waste.


Thanky.

Spriting may be about quality, but its also efficiency. It's no good if you cant mass produce. Most of the time practicing isn't a waste. Practicing something usless definitely is. instead of wasting your time practicing that, use it to learn how to use that program.
