hey I used to not really be a spriter because well I couldnt find a really good tutorial for me then i saw kiddragon's tutorial and I made one based off that tutorial and this is what came out
UPDATE:
credit to cocaine
critique please.

The pants are pillow shaded, beyond belief. Try again, look at some other sprites to get the idea. Also shade the right arm.

pillow shaded? I only see one side shaded.
I did shade the right arm but i'll make the shade darker.

If your not going to make the effort to at least look up "Pillow Shading" then you might as well quit now.
Here's the tutorial for light source shading, next time don't expect such courtesies.

When someone helps you, research as much as you can about what they said and how you could fix it. That's the best way to learn and the best way to gain respect from others.

I know what pillow shaded means...but now I see the problem its not pillow shade the black pixels on the left makes it look like if it is pillow shaded in other words an illusion, here...

see it now? you can also see the re-color on the right that only one side is shaded. btw thanks for the advice.

Ah, makes sense, you might want to make the shading on the pants a little darker then. For critique other than the colouring I have to say that the right foot shouldn't be straight down, it looks awkward and unnatural. You should also be able to see most of his left arm and the bend in the right just looks awkward, almost as if it is forced. The left hip is also extended outward a bit so it doesn't run properly with the body, you could fix this by thinning out the thigh or changing the bodies shape. If you're having trouble understanding what I mean I could easily fix a couple things, but I can't promise anything super.

Not bad, but yeah, fix the stuff cocaine said.

lol yea I can't really understand more than half of what you said so I want to see what you can do...I'll give credit.

Yikes, remember to save your sprites as PNG not JPG. This time i'll just fix up the sprite manually but next time pay more attention to that.

... sorry to be a bit noobish or whatever PNG and JPG means...

When you save your sprite change the file type to PNG, JPG ruins the quality.
Either way... I tweaked the pallet and worked on the lineart a bit, I'm no good with shading so you will have to try yourself. If you're lucky someone else might help you out.

Keep in mind that I'm also a new spriter and this is basically the first time i've ever sprited JUS. The lineart still has a bit to go but I think you should try and shade it first.

I see what you did there... not bad...not super either but not bad, thanks I'll see what I can do.
ok here is what I did

replaced the head with the original because i didnt like this one fixed the legs and a bunch of other things,and added shading
