Cute! I Only the shading at her ponytail can be better, I think, but I love this style very much, especially on her face!
She's so cute, I love her sassy expression! This is a lovely little sprite, and I agree with dyluck, it's nice and simple but still awesome. ♥
I'm gonna critique you, though! You've got some pillow shading going on in the hair. It is most notable on the top of her head and the ponytail where it meets the head. You can read more on pillow shading in this thread, it is under the section "Things to Avoid." ^^
I also I feel like the colors in this piece could be reduced. I'll use some advice I saw jalonso give out recently. If you zoom out and can't see the color immediately, then it's a wasted color. For example, the line you used on the far left side to communicate her poofy bang is just barely visible. You are likely going to have to lighten or darken some shades as you go, and here's a list of what I think you should try:
- Hair: Reduce from 4 to 3. Lighten the lightest shade of the hair slightly, and work from there.
- Green (Overalls and Eyes): Reduce from 4 to 3. I think there are random shade pixels on her straps, and should probably be mostly the lightest green over most of them, except for maybe near her shoulders.
- Black (Tights and Lashes): Reduce from 3 to 2 while still keeping her knees visible. This might not even be necessary, you likely could get away with just the one shade of black because it's such a small area.
- Brown (Boots and Shirt): Reduce from 3 to 2, and combine the darkest shade of the skin with the lightest shade of the brown.
This proves that something can be (relatively) simple and awesome at a time.
I really really love it, nice style in colors and shapes, very cute and very round.
Thank you for the critique! the information you've given to me will be very useful! ^^ I'm going to try to improve this sprite...
