This ninja drives me nuts, because I don't get the shading right. I want the light to come from the left front. His left  left leg is supposed to be further behind, while his right one goes basically straight in front.
My attempt:


The basic outline:


Suggestions and/or paintovers would be very welcome.

Thank you. They are both better than what I came up with.
KhrisMUC's version very much hits what I had in mind and I have to admit that I am a bit envious.
Although it does not look like it I labored almost an hour on the shading.
Is it just practice or are there any hints you can give?

Get ProMotion. The trial version is all you'll ever need. It's like a crossbreed of DeluxePaint & PhotoShop aimed especially at pixel art.

Use few colors, high contrast & study the masterpieces over at Pixelation.

Plus it helps a great deal if you have a well developed spatial sense.

The line art is really good and was fun to shade, btw! :D
