You shouldn't use pure black outlines, since they waste the little space you have.

In fact, why use 16x16? It's too hard to convey texture in such a small size, you know? :lol:

I'll leave you with this image (by the always skillful Arne (http://androidarts.com/art_tut.htm)), and the advice that you should use a bigger canvas size for the little guy ;)
