[WIP] First pixel art

[Final]

I am having problems with the walking animation, Help would be appreciated

those outlines are jarring when compared to the character, I think you should keep that style going, something like this maybe

Looks a lot better without the outlines, you are correct

It would be easier to help with some sketchy animation to start with. Otherwise, I can only recommend
- do not attempt to use idle frame as part of the walk animation
- plan 6 frames at least for a convincing animation,
- start sketching only the feet and check the movement is correct
- you're better to draw stick figures from scratch for each frame than trying to copy/paste/alter a full rendering of your sprite.

good luck.
