Well for Lsw shading is not entirely needed. If you don't shade teh sprites look pretty good. And then again fi you add a lot of good ahades with good texture/contrast, the sprites can come out equally amazing. See liek for Gamon he uses only a color outline and then an excellent shaded color and it comes out awesome. Then for other members who sprite more so dbz things they add sveral colors maybe like 2-4 tones per each shade. It really depends how you shade.
My main problem with this si head and upper torso shading.
