Completely new

[Meenah]

I will start out saying I am am totally new to pixelling and to the forums so my apologies if I miss or flub anything.  A friend is writing a game demo so I decided to try my hand to help out with something temporary for him to use in the early programming phases. I first did the top down ant and then when he decided to change the angle perspective I made the second.  He suggested that I post here and I might be able to pick up some tips.  Please be kind

Thanks for your time

I'm no expert at pixel art either, but one thing that bothered me was its left eye on the angled one was a bit lower. Maybe you wanted this, but it seems a little weird to me. Also, try to smooth out the edges (i.e. the head)
