Earth/Water Sword

I need help on shading, any good tutorials for shading and pixel arting... (If that makes sense.)

I use PhotoShop 7.0.
I was thinking I could use the burn tool, but wasn't sure if that was the best technique or not.

Hm, it looks kinda flat, especially the handle. The colours are also a bit weird, I know it's the "Earth/Water Sword" but it doesn't look right.

Keep working on it though, I'm sure you'll get it soon enough.

How about this one?

For one, it looks like a cardboard cut-out. It doesn't come off as "sharp", and it is very blocky. Also, like Kyori said, it is very flat looking. The handle seems quite tiny, too.

Thanks for the input and tutorials, I'll be working hard to try once again pixel art.
