I’ve been using aseprite for a while now, but I’ve decided that I should probably upload some things here as well. So here’s some peashooter I made a couple of days ago, only thing I think would make a better change is the outline color. But I think it looks good either way. Let me know what you guys think!

I love drawing PVZ plants, and yours looks great too! I have a couple of suggestions for you:
-
As you mentioned, you could consider changing the outline color. Alternatively, you might darken the outline in areas that are farther away from the light source.
-
Try using a color palette. The gradient effect can appear noisy for beginners and may result in too many unintended similar colors. I highly recommend looking up tutorials on how to create pixel art color palettes.
3: Continue to iterate; this looks good. However, which areas could be sharper, what areas were misproportioned, and what spots could have bolder values, highlights, or shadows?
I was thinking about doing the first suggestion before, however I pretty much forgot to do it in the end and it came out like that. You are totally right on the color palette part, it kind of made me struggle on picking the colors that I wanted to use too. I definitely could’ve iterated a bit on the stem since I was try to make it seem like it had depth but it could be too little for it to be notice. Or maybe I could’ve positioned the head a bit further down? Either ways, I appreciate the advice you gave me a lot!
I love how rounded the leaf on the head is!
