It's good and simple. Excellent for those learning to sprite.

Took you long enough to make one Despain

They're not great. I've seen you do much better pixel work than that. When doing a pixel tutorial, you should do a specific object so people know whether the final result is any good or not. Here these just seem to be random blobs with some rather sloppy shading on them. Because they're random blobs, they have some very poor linework. I know it's not your aim to teach about linework here, but it's best not to accidentily encourage people down the wrong path by setting a bad example early on. I reckon you could do a far better tutorial than this.

it's part one for a reason. part two will go into refining them. the idea here is to show people a method to think about form first. it's about opening the mind and nothing more. if people think that this is supposed to show them something other then that, then they're sorely mistaken.
