First post, hello!
I've done a bit of pixel art but just enough to learn some basics. I feel like I still fall down a lot on colours and textures (and probably other areas that I'm too noob to notice ::) )
I've done this simple dragon and would love some critique please, I'm not sure where to take it from here.

For me the dragon is really good, and the colors are great. If you think that this is a newbie art then you are not right (Great shading , highlights and shadows). For me it's great and if this is your first pixel art then that means that you are talented. Why am I telling that ? Colors can be always fixed but the figur of this dragon (great control of each pixel)

I'd play with the colors some, right now it kinda looks like they're made of slightly moldy green paste. More contrast and saturation could ease that, but I don't know what kind of environment you're building this dragon for

Yo!
I really liked what you did there. The dragon looks very good, I liked his face the most.
I've made some edits based on my personal taste so don't take it as some absolute truth ;)

I've mostly messed with the colors and some minor stuff like the fingers, the shadow on the tail, the lighting on the tip of the wing.
Anyway, impressive!

Thanks heaps for the feedback!
@MysteryMeat You're right, it was very slimy. Changing the saturation and contrast made it way better I think.
I don't know what kind of environment you're building this dragon for
Neither :lol: it's just a practice monster at the mo
@Danielclarc Your edit was really helpful, thanks! I had no idea what I was doing with the fingers.

I tried adding some texture on the tail but I think it's just adding noise

Okay so I toned down the lighter colour I added and used it more throughout, but I'm not sure if it's necessary. I don't know how to shade the belly and wings either ???

(http://i.imgur.com/7sAHxCe.png) this isnt a good looking edit because i'm "new" to pixel art.

I was reading about banding in the ramblethread (https://pixelation.org/index.php?topic=8110.0 (https://pixelation.org/index.php?topic=8110.0)) and I realised there was a lot in my dragon. Tried to fix it, I think there's more that I missed though
