So I make sprites online and I am decent and I want to improve. I make sprites of sizes generally 64 x 64 and higher. Any constructive criticism is great. I have examples of my work below. I have a deviantART as well with a hundred other sprites at http://driedmanjello.deviantart.com/ Thanks.

Sorry
No problem. Thanks for giving me your time of day for a little feedback.
I agree with Hiynastrike. Everything in the sprite seems to be more or less neutral colors.
In addition, I think you need to work on the color of your outlines. On the first sprite and last two, the black outlines on the inside of the sprite make it difficult to tell what is going on with the drawing. I would recommend using a darker shade of the interior color for the lines of the sprite instead of black outlines.

So make the shading darker and more prominent?

Alright. Thanks. Will do
I took all of the comments to heart and changed a sprite I made today. The before and after is pretty cool. A thanks to everybody pointing these things things out. Without you guys I probably would never have Identified these problems.
