I think with the kick pose it looks like a static pose that he could hold his leg there and balance, but then it has the smear that says it's a dynamic pose and his leg is still moving. I think it would help to commit to the dynamic part and make him half way through the motion in a way that wouldn't be balanced if he was standing still. That's my beginner criticism, idk what I'm doing I could be way wrong. These videos are great btw, learning so much. Your advice of putting hands and feet in place before elbows end knees has helped me a ton with getting poses right.

Only pose I wasn't completely sold on as well - probably would be improved with the standing leg to be slightly bent still, and/or with the heel turned inwards like a martial artist would to indicate the transfer of weight/motion through the hips

Cool process! If I may offer a suggestion for your workflow, you may benefit from adding a shortcut key to flip a selection horizontally instead of hitting transform, then flipping it by hand. You'd just make a selection it, if the drawing is not in its own layer, then hit a function key, and be done with it. It's also useful if you want to flip back and forth to check for something in the drawing (proportions, the pose itself, etc.)

How about the idea of limiting color choices to give an impression of a lower color depth? I've always felt that most modern pixel games end up with a clashing feel between the retro pixel appearance and the modern colors they sometimes employ. I feel like there's a virtue in picking colors using RGB hex values because it makes it simple to pick basic colors that would be available to early pixel art media. Something along the lines of limiting choices to "round" hex values like those ending in zero. Great tips for pose work!
