Like Spherical Ice said, the light source is on the top left. The shading isn't really in Pokémon's style, usually Pokémon sprites are shaded with only two colours, the base colour and a darker colour. Look at the front arm for example, you have a white highlight, the base under it, a darker colour and an even darker colour. You also use a lot of highlights which also isn't similar to the style.

Lineart on this is great, P_A_D, excluding that big tusk there. It just looks really oddly positioned and throws all sense of perspective on the sprite. The colouring is pretty saturated and has low contrast. I'd say you should try out some official colours, such as Rhyperior or something like Wishcash? The white highlights feel out of place and in some places it seems like there is too much shading which just makes it look bad. The excessive amount of dithering doesn't help, either. Also, if it's a Pokémon sprite, then I'd like to point out that the light source in the Pokémon games is the top left, not top right. Still, it's pretty good, Poke_a_dialga!

Double-reply~
For some reasons, I had the feeling to sprite it like that @@
And thanks for the advices (urgh... it's been so long since I last check this place eversince I transferred schools =='l")
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having my winter break (AT LAST!!!) and I kinda have some updates.
After I transferred, I had no choice but to stay in the dorm. There ain't any computers in the room, so I couldn't do much. Whenever I return home during the weekends, I had to relax myself up for the week. And ignore these stuff and let's get back to the topic:
I've sprited some fakemon and drew a dragon (say YAY XDDDD)
Ok... not the whole dragon yet... I've only finished the head and neck...
Those 2 parts alone took me the whole afternoon's time @@

Grassalo
(It's basicly the improved version of my previous sprite~)


Erafire

Croafire


Eragon


Dragon

EDIT: Updated
Spoiler:

Dragon with body. I don't really like the body that much and it's currently not the final design.

You know, as much as your dragon is impressive I don't know what else I can say about it other than I hope you finish it. Well, I suppose it looks a little off-center at the moment since there's no detail in the background, but something would definitely need to be in the right side of the image to balance things out.

With Growslo, I'd suggest you add a darker shade of yellow than the one you're using for shadows at the moment for the non-black outlines. The hand shouldn't have such a light outline. Maybe a few grey or mid tone pixels for the eyes would help, too, since you have only black and white and while that's fine if your eyes are black circles with a single white dot, when you have larger white areas you might want to make them cleaner and smoother looking.

I'm also not sure what that turquoise thing in its hand is (or is it part of the tail?) so if that could perhaps be a little clearer, i.e., easier to see and recognize what it is it would help.

Well, I did some edits based on ur critic and maybe just take a look down stairs? :3
The turquoise thingy is it's sphere jewel weapon.
I can't help but think the shading isn't proper and neat and rather you did some hand banana(such as just scribbling a lighter shade as you go up levels). Hue shifting would look quite nice as well, especially on the wings.
Well...
I redone the hands a little and by the way, it doesn't have wings XDD
