if you don't work on it as a whole:
1-we can't give C+C properly
2-you won't be able to visualize its body shape, increasing the sprite's probability of beng wonky
3-it is generally a dumb idea.
That's why you make rough sketches of the character instead of breaking up in parts and spending a buttload of work and effort into individual pieces.
Check how I work on my sprites, notice that I scribble the whole body first. This way, I can think up on a dynamic pose, know if it's stable or wonky before finishing it, etc
