He's talking about the light blue highlight you put across the little guy's forehead.  When you wear a brimmed hat it casts a shadow on your face.  So having a highlight right where the hat would cast it's shadow is incorrect.

OK, STOP making new threads for stuff like this if you have a thread on the first page in the forum already. I merged the threads, and if you pull this again I will give you a strike.

Also, there is not much to comment on. It's a square with eyes and mouth/nose(?) and some rather bad beveled shading. I am sorry if I sound harsh, but I really think that you should be doing some fundamental practise in drawing and not pixelart. Sketch basic shapes like spheres, cylinders, cones, cubes and what not, and the go on sketching stuff you see lying around in your room, stuff outside, people whatever.

I know this is a really generic crit, but I think you really need to do that if you wanna get anywhere with your art.
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

explanation.... first you need to work on your lines... sort out the shape as shown so that it seems to actualy be 3d not a flat thing.... next you need to shade your lines, look at the colours i used compared to what you used.


look up to the image i posted to help you at first.... sort out your 3d shape with the lines...

some people here i know hate line art and create form using blotches of colour to help build the volume... however it seems you are useing line art...

so create a 3d shape with lines before shadeing or anything

His distant leg is thicker than than the near one. Also, if you're going to make arms and legs that small, they could use a bit of extra detail. Right now they're so small that they almost just look like imperfections in a very bumpy sphere.
