Even though I don't sprite a whole lot anymore (sold my computer) I think I can still throw in some advice for some people.
1.) Spriting takes time. Some people start better than others, but either way through time you can improve.
2.) Experiment. In my experience's I've pretty much spent time seeing what works better than others. Mostly shading things.
3.) More of an obvious thing, but always use a reference. Sometimes spriting blind can go okay with good memory, but a reference is handy as fuck.
4.) A personal tip, if you ever don't like how something is coming out, or you abandon it. Come back later and improve it. Or just redo a sprite completely, even if you already posted it.
Well that's about I can think of, but I might think of more later.
