I see. I've been checking Pixel Art tutorials but some of them are too advanced or not quite easy to understand at first.
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
Edit:
I changed a loot of stuff, but thats mostly so you can pick up on a lot of important stuff. So firstly you had a lot of banding, beginner's mistake. If you don't know what it is id prefer you look up what it is instead of me explaining it here.
Secondly, shading. I see that you made a shadow below the slime, that means light is coming from above and you should have a shadow on the slime as well.
Black lines, I saw that you had both black outlines as black "inlines". so the eyes and the lines around the mouth are black as well. I would say that 99/100 times black inlines are very ugly. Either give them a lighter colour like I did with the eyes or just remove them like I did with the mouth.
The most important thing to improve here is the anti-aliasing. Right now there's banding everywhere. Find any pixel art tutorial out there. It should mention how to do it properly. The aa on the last figure is also barely visible, you need more contrast.
Next step would be shading and highlights. Then they won't look as flat.
I swear by GraphicsGale. But there are more popular editors. https://www.slant.co/topics/1547/~pixel-art-sprite-editors
