Hi. I am a complete novice in pixel art.
I am making small game just for myself, and when im trying to draw a sprite, i cant do that.
Here is my attempt:

I have some toubles with drawing legs, when character is walking.
Please help me draw 64x64 non-isometric character.

Look up walk cycle in Google Image Search and take a look at the pics. The straight-legged standing pose you have first won't be part of a (natural-looking) walk animation. You need to bend those knees, move those arms, and have the top half of the body bobbing up and down (up when legs together, down when legs apart). I'd suggest you start with blocked-in shapes or stick-legs instead of rough outlines.

What sort of style are you aiming for? Legs look too short for that body, I'd make the main body (waist to neck) shorter.
To do: ??? Cow made my lovely avatar.

Forget animation right now. Complete the sprite's design, first.
