Nature called when I said this... but okay! Let me get started.

So I see that you tried to keep these images simple, so I won't add colors. I'll let you do that.
Anyways, don't ever forget about having your light source. Which in this case, it's in the top, correct? Let's just say it is.


Let's start with fixing jaggy lines or 1px going diagonal lines. In my eyes, you did the outline great, but you didn't add the AA inside. Which matters a lot, but AA is mostly used in creating curved lines more clean. Generally speaking, 1px diagonal lines need AA or even 2px x 2px connections.
Example: (Look beyond the pixels. o.o)


Now that's fixed, don't have the outline's color inside the graphic. You might get these mistakes, but remember to not have the outline's color inside the outline!! Therefore, fix the inside outline. (It is recommended, but if there is a dark shading and you need the black outline, go ahead and use it!


I basically did all of it. x-x
Anyways! Let me tell you what I did! I added some other color for the outline, same palette, though. Then, I gave the flower pot a more round effect. The lightest color was the glare effect in this imagery for the flower pot. Not knowing what the middle logo is for the flower pot, I added a random outline in it, but had the lightest color in the middle, therefore the middle part is a birghter color then the rest.

;-; I was eating Starburst while writing this.

I'm using the gameboy palette, and I want the solid lines to be black, or dark grey. But thanks anyways =]

I see. No matter what pallette you're using. AA, dithering, etc. are very important in pixel art. It makes the graphic look more clean and neat!

I know, but I wanted the flower's face outline to be black, and the pot seems too shaded.

In other words, you wanted it as simple as possible? ;o
