how can i make this look like a syringe?

The title says it all, and i may need more help with other sprites later

It looks pretty good. I just added the other end of the syringe. It is pretty hard to make such small sprites, if this one still doesn't fit, I suggest making the center a pixel or two wider, and compress one of the ends.

hard to make such small sprites?
small sprites are the easiest!

Well, I never use them, definitely not my favorite, making them harder for me. Also, the style is very strict, and room is very limited. I usually don't do pixel art, and if I do, it is on a bigger scale. I guess you don't need as much detail, but you can't put in much either.

That so depends. Take a look at nitrome.com . Their games are all made with pixel art (with one or two exceptions).
The detail is just stunning.

[skydereign]

Not saying it can't be detailed...

[BlarghNRawr]

small is alot easier than large for me because you dont have to cover so much area..

like say your making... a rock... exciting yes, anyway if its big, you have to put in detail over the whole large surface, where on a small rock you just have to put in a few colour changes here and there and it looks fine because its so small xD

xP im so lazy

[Kalladdolf]

That's what I usually do as well. Draw small stuff with paint, then clone it, make changes here and there, copy it again and then step by step you get something bigger.

Small > Big in difficulty
Small < Big in detail

so you can have small sprites with few details, and it could look great, because you can't put much detail in something small, it's hard, you also can't get shapes right with smaller things.
with bigger sprites, detail is key, sometimes you need to draw something, scan it, go over it, and make a sprite off of that. with bigger sprites it's easy to get any shape or rotation you want.
so really if you have the skills of drawing, a scanner and a good image editing program you can make big, good looking sprites, but you only need a couple pixels and ms paint to do a small sprite, which is why you see alot of sprites that are so small, need less work.
