No?

The point of an edit is to give you a point of reference to show you what needs improving

Ice, 1up's sprite was basically a guideline to show you what changes need to be made. It wasn't so much a "here, use this" as it was a "look at this and use it to fix the problems with yours". In other words, don't use his.

edit- beaten

Minus the air-hump.

we kinda covered that joke already but yes.

I dunno, the original sprite had airhump as it is

a very slight, but apparent airhump

you might need a bigger face/facial features for the sprite if you want to convey emotions/expressions.

so, any updates?

yeah i might as well just cut out the various emotions.

The position and shape of the eyes is really... unnatural. And your choice of colours are still terrible.

His hat is really pillowshaded and doesn't follow with the light source of the jacket. You might wanna fix that

Here is the example.
To explain, the eyes on yours are the same size, which would only happen if we were looking at him precisely from the front. However, you have him in a stance that has us looking at him from an angle, therefore the proportion of things should reflect that angle. Look at 1up's, the eye closest to us (our left, his right) is quite readable, while the further one (our right, his left) is just a single line. As for the position, they seem a bit low on his face since he is wearing a hat.

To explain the colors, see this:

for now work on getting your colors to a decent level(asuming your sprite isnt an edit, the lines are quite ok already). take a look at this

Also, this:

Even not knowing how to shade, you should still at least see the lightsource is off in your sprite.

The lightsource position seem to agree between the hat and jeans to some extent, but the jacket is just off. Look at the arrows, they show the disagreement of the lightsource position.
