quick note- most of it is pillow shading, add some dithering, you might be able to cut down the colors on the ground tile as well.

I know the shoulders are pillow shaded but everything else?
I couldn't really get a decent look out of them :(

are there any other tips that I could use?
I'm really interested in bettering my skills so if anyone of you out there could mentor me on your spare time that would be great, thanks

Edit:
OK I've been working on a few more sprites recently please help me improve on them as much as possible :)

heres my try at a 3/4 perspective to understand how its done please ignore the shading
It was done quickly to define the basic shape of the objects
please help for some reason my 3/4 cones and shapes don't look right as is >.<
