Like I dont know where else to shade if you know what I mean.
And how can I not make the outline stand out so much? (Coz it's gotta have an outline, right?)

First off you lack much shading in addition adding the shading in the right areas...now i have much trouble with hair also but you probably should look at godots or will powers hair for reference next is the eyes they have no definition...they look like a blue blob...darken them and add a lining...add eyebrows and...NEVER...EVER use a black outligning as it makes it look to cartoony...use colors that are dark, match the color and such
finally maybe remove abit from the line so the chins darkest line doesnt touch the ears line.
study up on the sprites really look at apollo or phoenix (as he is easier to sprite than apollo)
now then as an extra...you could get gimp to remove the outline (the big green area)
hope that helps...(im not the best at explaining and im sure someone else will add to my explanation so...yea)

Gimp in no way makes your sprites better. A huge number of extremley talented spriters use nothing but paint...
I sprite horribly in Gimp. Paint is so much cleaner.
I use gimp for everything else, though. So do get it :P

i completely agree...only things i have used gimp on my sprites are taking out the border and animating them

Aah...Is it time for this conversation again? Ok!
The reason I use gimp is: I'm lazy.
It's too tiresome to switch and all =D
Besides...You for me in spriting paint and gimp are same...

It's all about paint baby.
And the occational Serif if I'm scratching something, not even gunna lie there XD
But for the sprite...
Its ok, but as people have said, shading could use some work.
If it is yellow hair, use a dark yellow outline. Choose about 3-6 shades and think about where the light is coming from. Look at Godots sprites for examples of hair.
Use that outline for other things too.
Take the base color, and darken it...
Then thats what you use as the outline.

In addition to what others have said, try to thin your lines to 1 pixel thickness. It will look tons better.

Apollo Justice/Phoenix Wright sprites also use anti-aliasing in their lines, which is this...

As for the shading, consider the light source (the center of court, so his upper right) and shade opposite it (bottom left). Too much shading will usually look better than not enough, so go crazy. =#

Fun idea--I like the character design. It looks like you colored over the sprite instead of filling in/using the color replace, which roughed up the lines.

What you do, is you open paint and paste in your sprite. Select the colour you want to change as the primary colour, and the colour you want to change it to as the secondary.
Take your eraser. You can resize it by pressing ctrl+plus on the numpad. Rbe over the part you want to change with the right mouse button.
Rinse and repeat
For the custom bits, you want to make bigger shadows.

It's the 1 pixel thickness and anti aliasing i dont know how to do. Because as far as I can see, I am using one pixel (Paint the pencil tool. Am I wrong?) and I have no idea in hell how to do Anti-Aliasing. Can anyone help? (By the way, if you don't know what anti-aliasing is, look on the link that Glace Leau left. Maybe you know what it is but just not by name.
All help and constructive critisism appreciated!

Thats a beezy face to do.
I'll try to explain, but I mean, I use something else to anti alias.
TRY GIMP FOR THAT XD
OR someother photoshop.
On paint, it goes somethin like this,
You pick a base color, then use the line tool to make the line that you want.
Then pick a shade lighter than that, and outline that line
then lighter, then lighter.
And so on.
Haha idk I do it on Serif so idk what to tell you XD
