Post yours if you have ever made one. I wanna keep making more in the future. Also, comment if you have anything to say about this video or anyone else's (if anyone post any haha).

Hey, it is not on topic, but I noted it while watching your video.
So, you shaded the face and I noted that you passed on the thing that I myself started to take into account not so long ago. It is shadow under lower lip. It is considerably darker than the lower lip and improves realism of the face a lot. Reference is second pic on following site (see mirror for more options):

It is very prominent in anime and manga:

And on the topic - I would never make video of anyone making pixelart in fear that someone would put it on the web.
It is almost the same as making pixelart in public. Yeeesh!

Thanks for the reference images... I have been trying to improve myself when making faces, so any link that can help me go further on that helps. I don't mind making pixel art in public, done it a couple times in school and in the public library haha... if anything, I get people to notice my efforts further. :) It's actually fun, I have met some people who have approached me in real life while watching me doing that, most of them never heard of the art to begin with, so I kinda talk to them about that and such...
