you pretty much copied and pasted the same sprite (or 2 sprites) for nearly every frame...with very minor and limited edits of course.
and the sprite itself needs a lot of work. the lines are pretty jagged and, well, he just looks like a torn up sheet of colored paper. (as in your shading doesn't give it a defined shape.
people who are new to spriting always seem to follow the same routine. they make one base sprite which needs work by itself; then they make an entire sheet out of it BEFORE getting criticism on the base sprite. and therefore the entire sheet is still very flawed, and making edits is tedious and boring; it usually never gets done. this is just something to keep in mind for the future.
And then there are the people who don't even listen to the criticism they receive, which is pretty much when they have unconsciously given up on spriting altogether. hopefully you're not that guy i just mentioned.
