when I pick colors I take more of a diagonal approach instead of straight dow to the next shade.
.Pay attention to where the cursor in the color chooser is in each picture.
.notice when i pick my next shade i go more towards red. if i were to pick a brighter shade I would go more towards orange. this creates more vibrant color in the sprite so it can pop out and the shades can be easily noticed.
.move a little not alot ok.
.One other thing try not to make your outline all black but a dark color close to black.
