 ===Pillowshading===
-Pillow Shading (also known as Pillowshading) is a common mistake among beginning spriters. Pillowshading happens when the sprite is shaded with its lightest shade in the middle and the sarker shades toward the outline. This is bad because it shows no depth and it's an eyesore. Pillowshading is like an extreme form of banding which covers the entire sprite.
