I have decided to start learning pixel art for real. I have been dabbling at it for years, but never actually followed tutorials or paid much detail to sprites or just used free sprites. But this year I am going to try harder. 

I think I will start with this tutorial.

This little guy I did yesterday. Well at least, I can only improve right.
