Criticman ahoy!
Well, your "Sonic" (and "Shadow") needs more work. First you need a better color palette. The colors look dull and lacks contrast. Also use hue-shifting. With these techniques, you'll get more interesting colors
Sonic/Shadow's body isn't just a gradient-colored square with round edges. Use reference pics to get the body shape right. However, if you're using the classic Sonic as your ref pic, I suggest you making the body rounder. Also, your shading looks very subtle, which isn't good. A shading that you can't see is useless, you know. Also, you must have some 3D knowledge. A sphere can't be shaded like a piece of paper. And fix the colorized outline: Note how the side pose's belly part looks thinner because of the blue outline. Color it yellow to make it more 3D. Don't forget his tail, too.
His limbs aren't the same size:I think the legs are slighty longer than the arms. Also, make the thickness constant: it looks tighter in some places.
His hand is HUGE. fix that. It's almost reaching his feet without even bending down. I doubt you can do that. Also his feet are small. Increase its size.
I don't want to let you down with these criticisms: I'm just helping you make the sprites better. Keep trying and you'll be good someday
