Hello everyone, I am quite new to pixel art and find one of the things I struggle most with, is actually finishing my pieces. I lack patience when it comes to pixel art so I decided that I was going to start a piece and actually finish it.

Unfortunately it is not going well at all. But that's ok, I will probably learn a lot :D

Anyways, I have gone several different directions and cannot figure out where to go with it:

This first one was a basic outline, not really sure if I should still go with it or not, I might shape up the outline, I might not, not really sure.

 


This second one was a bit of coloring with the same outline(  I think the top portion turned out ok actually):



Some more coloring:



A new angle and lighting direction:



I really have no idea how to make any of these look good.

Please help :(

You really need more straight lines here than the curvy ones. Also, you're pillowshading, which isn't usually advises. Visit the Resources section and look up the n00btorials.
