Nice sprites but here are some thoughts on how to improve them.

Use brighter colors and more contrasting colors so that the definition of your sprites pop to life.

Here I did a quick edit what a small palette change will do.


Here I brightened up the colors so that you could see more of the body. I also changed the background color to contrast more with the sprite to also make it easier on the eyes to figure out what is going on.

Another thing I did was edit the hair on the sprite. I don't know if you were going for a fuller line of hair but I just went by the art on the left of the sprite. I wish I had more time to work on all the sprites in the frame but you get the general idea

In this sprite:


I changed the colors completely. I gave the eyes a lighter blue to make them stand out. I changed the fur color, the shirt color and the jeans as well.

You don't have to change the color of your sprites but it's the only thing I could really say about them. Your line art is really good just try to mix colors that contrast each other more so your sprites pop out more. Also when working on animating sprites, animate the sprite as you work on it so that you can get a feel for what it should look like. It's how I got my running motion on my Metroid sprites so smooth.
