I use gimp 
hahaha, is there any shortcuts for gimp? 
I haven't actually used gimp before, but if you have an option called "Decrease colour depth", use it to reduce colours automatically, then just clean up the outline of the sprite.
Ha ha! I died again!

Oh yes! There's something to reduce the amount of colours, what do you mean by cleaning up the outline?

Literally pixel by pixel redraw the outline using appropriate colours. There should be visible outline around each sprite with no anti-aliasing around it (Some inside the sprite is fine).
E.g:
How Gumshoe's got a clear 1px width outline of the same colour around his coat, then one around his hair etc.

Alright! I got it! Thanks for the tip, really appreciate it
Update:
My first try on an OC! Her name is Clemmy
she was meant to be a psychologist, but it ended up looking more like a detective in my opinion, so her occupation shall be decided next time

Got it! I will make the changes when I can! I'm not too sure on where to start for shading the hair though... Any tips silver?
Thanks for the criticism!

For a start, your character's hat would cast a shadow across the top of the hair. Try looking at photos of real hair and seeing where/how the lights and darks appear to get a better idea of how it'll work. Good luck.

Not sure if it's any better... but i had fun trying to make him sassy xD
Nice. I like it. Maybe it could be more tilted but he looks like a bench sprite and if he stood more tilted his hair would hit the gallery XD
With Clemmy... I'm wondering, do you flip the canvas when you're drawing?

Hahaha! Hair hitting the gallery... maybe that could be his wall/desk bang animation
Ah... no i don't
Thanks Ropfa! I'll try my best to get better
Update:
(Not much of an update but still..)
Corrected Clemmy's shoulders a little, and added talking and blinking animations

Under the knot, there's a tear-shaped indent in the fabric, and is more pinched in at that spot. But if that's your design choice, then ignore this

Looks like you kind of guessed what I was thinking, lol XD
Yeah, flipping and rotating is a good habit, it would have been easier to see if things like shoulders and stuff are uneven. Still if you look at the one with the corrected shoulders, try find where the spine is and see if you can see anything. Don't forget people have a skeleton. :)
It's the shadow of the hat. Her head is tilted up more but the shadow got lower instead, so it's like a glare XD

I think the face could benefit from a little more contrast, but still, it's so clean, great job !

Seeing you have created an OC has made me think that you'll also create an AA Fancase like all the other people with spriting talents (For example, mercurialSK, Ropfa, TheDoctor, etc, etc...)
Speaking of OC's, the girl you made... Clemmy- She kinda looks like an explorer sometimes in my vision.
I need to ask Mij if he's also going to create an AA Fancase later...

Susato is an official character from the new "Great Ace Attorney".
And I am making a fancase! Haven't updated it in years, but most of its sprites are posted in my thread.

Mij, I don't think I asked about the new (Perky?) Assistant Ryn will have on DGS But thanks anyways...
I was talking about a new sprite he made. One spriter here claimed that one of her poses are quite rude.

I think it's more fanart rather than a constructive sprite set. I'm like that too. I'll just make character poses I like because I like 'em
(I probably shouldn't be speaking on behalf of others, sorry if I'm wrong )

(I probably shouldn't be speaking on behalf of others, sorry if I'm wrong )Agreed. They sorta look like fanarts without those blinking animations. I wonder when will he do the talking sprites of them as well...

(I probably shouldn't be speaking on behalf of others, sorry if I'm wrong )You're right! xD I made the Susato's sprite because i think she looks really cute cheering Ryu on
I'm not making it for anyone to use, I'm not making a fangame either... So i don't really see a need to include animations. (And also because it's really tedious to do )I only do animation when I have a lot of time to burn, and when i have no new sprite in mind to make.
Speaking of having a lot of time to burn...
Update:
Ryu's objection pose! (with blinking animation lol)
I think I'm getting a little addicted to tracing
