Eh, sorry, I had to take a lot out of your edit because I really didn't know how to put my own spin on the face and hair. I tried doing my own thing with the arm and I changed the background to a blueish gray. Also added detail to the sword. How'd I do?

Ok, I changed a lot of the colors up and shaded a bit. Don't mind the giant blob in the top right, just reminds me where the light source is. How'd I do?

Not quite there! Think about how the face curves, in this style it might be best to treat it like a ball. Go back over it and try to make the shading chunks big enough to notice at default resolution, and don't forget the shade the bandage!

Close. Take a break from this to do a few practice exercises, cones and squares and spheres. Get a grip on how to shade those and come back to this. Reimagine the whole piece as being made up of those shapes and work from there.

Hrm, I'd rather not but, it's practice that'd I'd need to do sometime anyway. *Sigh* I'd rather finish this piece soon, but I guess I have to go on another journey to finish it.

Hello again. Sorry about not getting back to you guys about anything but, I've been busy with work, and schools gonna start soon. I was wondering if I could have some opinions on making a base based on the swordsman I posted. Would it be a bad move or would it be a nice way to make a simple sprite representation of a character?

Honestly, as a general rule you probably shouldn't. At this early a stage you'll get more out of drawing them over and over again normally.
That may sound like more work (and it is) but it's going to get you better art than drawing over the same placeholder graphic will.

Really, you should only be using those for mockups or to fill a specialty gamedev need, in my opinion. Bases promote a pretty lazy way of getting art done and will stagnate your improvement to start relying on them.

Hmm, I see. Well, what would you recommend that I practice on next? How shadows hit a round object or anatomy?

The first one. Anatomy is a big order you NEED to have basic form done on to truly understand.
Cubes, cones, and balls.
I also recommend drawing things on your desk or living area, this helps your flexibility with those shapes and how they define forms.
