Bottom of the train seems to have too sharp shapes. Try blurring it by painting leftmost dark pixel (of two in one line) with a lighter colour.
The same applies for other parts of the train that seem to be too sharp, try to find a colour in between two other colours
I know most people suggest this but have you tried Purno's drawing tutorials? You don't have to follow them completely but they do give you a good idea of how you can draw stuff, then you can adapt them.
The train you have draw at the moment is good angle wise but perhaps as MeusH suggests edit the base of the coaches as that is far thicker than it should be.
Uhm u mean the inferior part, like more "blurred". Well, now better?
Ameecher, well, I readed all Purno's drawing tutorial, and I would start to make trains, 446 'Dodotis' is my first creation. But, I need some opinions to get the better appearance ^_^ now I starting all other angles.

At first I 'blurred' the bottom and darkened doors to give more contrast with train.
Well, not knowing what the train actually looks like I can't criticise, for all I know that looks spot on and you should run along to the Spanish Set and draw your heart out. If you could post a picture of the train then I may be able to help.
Ok first things first I think you have made the front too angled, In the picture it is only slightly angled, also you need to texture things more and the large black units on the roof (are they the air conditioning or something) you need to make those look like they are raised up, otherwise I'd say it was a good shot at a first graphic. Keep going!
Well, at first thanks for your opinions and suggestions.
In this new version I maked more angle effect in roof, added more angle effect on "black units" of roof to make a raised up appearance, changed color of doors to other more "brilliant".
ACTUALIZED: Less angle in frontals of train.

Modified angle of frontals to be less angled and other things mentioned in message.

Sorry if my english is bad. I know that I have some grammar errors.
SORRY
Looks very good, I think however you need a Mod to move this to the correct forum, OTTD Development is not correct perhaps OTTD Graphics or even TTDP Graphics
Your sprites resemble the train well, but the front of the train needs tweaking IMO. It's probably most difficult part of a sprite, but should try various designs, for example try drawing the red logo in a bright colour so it blends with the background better.
Also, the red paint > front side transition on 4th and 6th sprite seem to be weird. Try changing it a bit. I'm sorry I don't have idea how, so just try changing some pixels.
And the reason for the first version diagonal views to have non-sharp white is mainly because the doors (3 per side) extend into the dark coloured lower part of the hull.

Main point of this post is, please, some respect!
This train is maded all be me, I know that sanchimaru's maked one, but I tried to make one 446 to "practice" a little, and this is my result. I no copied anything of sanchimaru's 'Renfe 446'.
And if you see 2 trains, u can see differences... Any similar 'thing' is casuality.

Sanchi's one is at the bottom, see how you funnily blurred (or sth) his image, breaking in the process some background pixels.
Shape is a hundred % match. Window colours at sides match too perfectly, the rest of the pixels are the same colour, different shade, you seem to have copypasted windows all over the roof's equipment.
