dont.

Sprites do absolutely nothing for you, you are just using some other guy's art, doing absolutely nothing by yourself. Even sticks help you improve more than sprites, but I recommend you practice with rough sketches until you find a style you're satisfied with and you like for yourself.

both sticks and sprites are stupid and we dont want them submitted to NG

This is exactly the wrong reason to 'animate' sprites. Some people claim to do it "just for fun" which is just fine, but I find it hard to believe that any spriter would continue to use other people's sprites if he had the ability to create his own/animate/write a story not involving mario.

If you're using sprites because your artistic level isn't at your current preference, then don't. If you have no intention of improving your artistic skill or improving your storytelling ability whatsoever, then go ahead as long as you have fun.

How could you possibly have spelled any worse? You even spell 'I' wrong at one point, and that's only one letter! If you want people to help you, then check your spelling so that they can understand what it is you're saying. It's not difficult.

How can you expect to put the effort into improving your cartoons if you won't put the effort into using proper English?

well, that's not really all that bad, I can see you are most likely a beginner, but I recall my first stuffs being somewhat like that. You going places.

Still, there's some stuff that are extremely wrong with this, quite some things, but at least you're getting a basic of anatomy, which is quite some progress from making sprites and stick movies, so I say thou keep trying until you get a hold of what you're doing wrong, eventually, it'll become easier.

I put together a few things really quickly in Ps to help you, just some quick drawings to help you, consider them for references, it's pretty much the basics for drawing a profiled picture; eye, nose and shading.

Yes guys, I cross hatch, sue me, but I like traditional comic book shading.
