i am not trying to offend, but i think you should start trying small sprites, until you get some basic notion, you know.... try doing a... FFIVA styled homer... Lol, i am not kiddind... i mean the world sprites... Old ff´s sprites are wonderful to study these things... or try to do simpler, smaller sidescroller things... say, a floating skull... but the best thing you could try(wonderful for me)... TRY MAKING ICONS!!!!!! start with 16x16, and go to 24x24!
PS: In no way i am trying to offend. gave suggestions that worked for me... At my sight i think you need some basic color notions and line notion. By making smaller stuff, it is easier to delineate acctually and you can evolve your line skills better. oh, and try not to create shades of a color by just adding black or white. say, a yellow ball looks cool with a purple shadow, for example... and i think all cartoon sprites, what includes homer, should have an single shadow, i mean, not degradé. like animes, for example. Just thoughts, you can ignore this completely if you want. bye ^^
