Hey there! Sorry you weren’t able to get much in the way of feedback. There are some very talented people on here, who love to help, but the community isn’t as active as other places.
Since you want to improve, let me point you to some resources and tutorials, which I and others have found very helpful:

Pixeljoint - This site may be old, but it’s one of the original places for pixel artists to post work and discuss different topics. It also features a veritable treasure trove of tutorials for all aspects of PA, so definitely worth a visit: Pixel Art Tutorials
PixilArt - This is a relatively new community for pixel and digital artists. It’s mostly populated by younger artists, but there are some powerhouses who post there too. If you partake in the dailies and engage with the community, you’ll find many who are willing to share tips and tricks. Also it has a mobile version, which is handy. https://www.pixilart.com/
Lospec - Although mostly used for the insane amount of palettes shared by other artists, this site also features an impressive collection of tutorials. Be aware that some of them may not be available anymore, since the domain hosting them has been retired, but most of them are still working. Pixel Art Tutorials

YouTube Channels - Here’s a few of my personal favourites:

  1. Brandon James Greer - a very laid-back and talented artist. He shares a lot about the creative process and has tutorials which are worth checking out, but he also does sprite analysis of other artists and you can learn a lot from that as well. https://www.youtube.com/@BJGpixel
  2. MortMort - Although he hasn’t made new videos in the last 3 years, the ones he has are very informative and cover a lot of subjects to help you improve. https://www.youtube.com/@MortMort
  3. Robinson Pixels - A very energetic person, he’ll explain some concepts more common for game development, but still focus on the PA parts. Worth checking out! https://www.youtube.com/@RobinsonPixels

That should tide you over for a while, but don’t hesitate to ask people for info. Everybody has their favourite sources and you’ll discover a lot yourself. :smiley:

P.S.- If you can get it, the e-book ‘Pixel Logic’ by Michael Azzi is a great resource and covers a lot of subjects such as Linework, Shading, Color, Perspectives etc.

Good luck!
