I drew a RPG character. My very first.

I talk you from experience: it uses too many colours. You will say "nah, I have 256 to play with..." wrong!

Most 2D console games use 16 colours or less for the sprites. Why? palette using. If you just use 16 colours in a row to draw your sprite, you know which colours to change and that they won't affect the rest of the sprites. For example, let's say that you are in an ice stage will skimos. When you go to a firelava stage with golems, you need different colours. As you won't use skimos in the firelava stage, you can use those colours, and change the palette to be able to draw and use golems.

You also have to work a bit in the body, as I can't distinguish the parts.
