It looks good for me to start. You have to remember that human have got a lot of muscles. Curvature is ok. Everything is good for me to start, but you have to look at arm, especially look at hand. It should be more round and a little diffracted. Here you've got example, but be careful, I'm not specialist in drawing pixel characters ;/
You should add muscles too. It is big picture, so you've got a lot od space to improve your character. Try add AA, muscles and shapes. |

I understand, but i can't do the definition of muscles or hand like your example because i don't have pixels enought. The example is zoomed X5 the real size :-(
Thanks for the feedback. |

The forum has a zoom feature (just click any image to zoom).
Will you post a 1X for WIP thread purposes even if final is to be 5X. Its much easier to c+c. btw, its cute and funny and you are on the right track. You do have some ugly bits and even if small and cartoony it should respect anatomy to a certain extent and developing forms is always important even here you have plenty of room to better those things. ------------- |

A good start would be to check out a human proportion chart, for example, the head is pretty huge compared to the rest of the body. Just throw "human proportions" at google and you'll find useful charts. |

I dunno that 'human proportion' is always needed. I can see a human figure working that uses none.
Going 'proper' would ruin the genitals which work because its not proportional. I think form and volume is far more important in this case. Ultimately its an artistic choice :/ ------------- |

Ok, i replaced the image with one with no zoom now.
The proportions aren't realistic. I'm searching for an style for making people. It's for a videogame for example. Thanks again for the feedback. |

What do you need this sprite to do in this game?
I can throw an edit for you if you can't see what I mean with form and volume. The front view of the head does not match the side view of the head in 'shape and volume'. The toony style I overlook because I can see that. The eyes for example should be more anatomically correct by moving 1 or 2 pixels down. The fingers are a total mess :p ------------- |

Good start, I see where you wanna get with this, for some reason it reminds me of beavis & butthead.
Still, the shoulders doesn't quite match the overall anatomy, and i'm not saying realistic human anatomy. Look at the shoulders os the Maniac Mansion picture for example. |

Ok, I'll try to make the shoulders less horizontal.
Thanks. |
