I think what he's asking for, rather than some high-level theory as in the other thread, is basically a collection of prefab palettes. I can see how this would be useful to absolute n00bs.
I still remember being baffled at how to make certain shades like orange, gold, and negro skin. I think a collection of skin tones would especially be useful. Other than that, I can only think of really specific examples that might be useful, like "these are colors for denim blue jeans" and "these are colors for faded denim blue jeans."

Well, me noob needs not just palette (otherwise I'd just rip it from some sprite), but palettes for common cases (skin, grass, dirt, etc) _and_ clarification of why that colors whas chosen, and how to tweak and alter it.

Thanks for the link to topic, but though helpful, it is too abstract.

You are right, her pose is as wrong as it anatomically possible.
I tried to fix it, but it seems that I chose wrong perspective from start (frontal instead 3/4), so only way to really make it right is to redraw every pixel.
This picture, though anatomically/perspective wrong, seems more right than original:)

I tried:( But even 1 pixel of bounce was too bouncy.

So, C&C for Baldie, anyone?
