Take a look at these two palettes:

Alright, so for green I'm going to want to add more blue the darker I go?

Yes, be careful not to make the colors to strong or it will look strange. It will also look washed out if you do the opposite and drag down the saturation.

So I should be looking for changes in the R/B/G but also what about the hue and Lum?

The color palette for the clothes and hair uses a straight ramp, in other words you're just make the colors darker.
In real life colors get more de-saturated the less light that hits them..
In pixel art a lot of people prefer to add in a little blue or purple in the shades because those are cold colors which also gives of a nice contrast.

Your colors also lack a bit in contrast as well.
For the hair you need to make it darker on the sides.
Also, for the shirt you need to break up the [ shape.

And as Jams pointed out, his body looks like it's viewed from the front, which makes it look like his head is bent forawards and he's looking down on the ground..
Either you make him shorter, or wider. It might be that his legs are too long.

I dunno what you mean by using the different colors of the color wheel, I guess I don't have an understanding of what colors go with one another?

I lowered the body and also changed the hair and shirt???

Well the thing is, you sorta need to mash the shoulders into the face if you want to get the perspective right..
Although a lot of games tend to screw the perspective so it's up to personal preference I guess

Oh yeah, that does make sense, I see what you're saying!
Hmm...I don't really know how to do that though :'[ when I move the shoulder/head up/down a pixel it creates the L.

Well, can you break up the L by using a darker/lighter color?
At least that's what I do, it might not be optimal or even a good idea

I'm actually a bit uncertain myself as to how much perspective there should be for 3/4 perspective.
I've tried googleing but without much luck.

Yeah not a lot is studied under 3/4th perspective, but this is my competition



I think I'll do fine haha

Yeah, but for increased perspective, you can lower the eyes and move the shoulders up.
That also looks less like a fat baby compared to my edits! ;DDD

Well I took the eye brawls from the one you did because it looked better and I took you advice on the L being near the jawbone and instead made the shoulders exist instead of mashing it into the side of his face. Then I rounded out the "shorts" put the crotch in there similar to yours and changed the arms to look less bulky? I also used the skin tone you used because it contrasts nicely :3



^ Lowered Eyes for better perspective

Can you guys possibly help me out? I'm trying to design a game with 3/4th perspective for a game community a lot of you might know, known as BYOND. I have been spriting for 2 months and I'm not really sure what to do what-so-ever. I spend 2 days on 32x32 works and I'm never happy with what I make. I want to know what I'm doing wrong with the perspective, proportions, as well as shading.
