first of all, you need to know anatomy.



this guy's totally stiff (stop using the line tool) and the body perspective doesn't match his head. His limbs don't have any joints and his neck is too short.

Also MS Paint default colors. never use them.

That's not really what i asked for but still thanks.

You can't make sprites without knowing the basics. Even if you can shade like a god, not knowing how to make a proper lineart will render you useless at pixelart.
