I'm new to this. Constructive criticism appreciated.
Here's some simple bricks I made and I thought I'd share them.

New bricks I made after some constructive criticism. They look shiny to me, am I hallucinating?

These are pretty good. I would make them a little lighter though.
Aha! I thought you were joking at first, I could only see two black images :P Yeah make them ALOT brighter
Added two more.
looking better, though you should work on the texture. Imo the black dots covering each brick doesn't look that good. (Dunno how to better describe it \_0.o_/)
Black should typically be used for outlines.
As for shading, use a very dark shade of the color you are using.
White is typically reserved for reflections, use a very light shade of the color you are using.
Here is a good spriting website.

Over all I think you can draw the walls well, it's just the shading that needs practice. :)
The one thing I really like about the bricks is that it has some sort of nostalgic 16-color feel to it. It reminds me of the really old PC games that had extremely limited color palettes, but still had the charm of gameplay and recreational fun times infused within it.
Though, I'm sure it's safe to say that the darkest two brick walls are virtually charred. The brighter two are much nicer to look at.
Nice bricks. Did you shit them yourself?
Updated with some graffiti and new non-16 bit bricks.
