None of these are any good, 1st one is just a big wilderness pk scene, 1st actual attempt..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, so this is my second attempt, still not too good, but it's based on Kasen Yanaji, and as some of you may know, he calls himself "Stake Monkey" I wasn't too good at drawing a monkey, but anyway..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Currently working on another pk'ing pixel, Spetke as my theme lol.

 

 

 

I use MS Paint and Photoshop CS for my "pixels"..

 

 

 

If anyone has any tips, they'd be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Thanks,

i'm liking the first one....... except for his face..... that whole picture is very very good. very nice shading and body form. and i just LOVE that land scape

 

 

 

very good job :D

I guess my pixel-arts aren't good enough for a flame lol, oh well...I'll try harder.

Ehmm... lets see here:

 

 

 

- They aren't pixels. I can easily see you used the burn tool, which isn't a part of pixeling at all. Pixels are creating your art pixel by pixel, and no other way.

 

 

 

- The linework is REALY sloppy. You realy need to learn how to make the most efficent line. For example, the horizion (or whatever that is)'s line work is realy messy.

 

 

 

- Shading. You need it, and a lot of it. Right now your signature just looks like a badly drawn ms paint picture, but with some burning and stuff in it.

 

 

 

- Drawing. Practice more drawing with a pencil and paper. Fact in point, if you can't draw with paper/pencil than there is no way you will be able to do it on the computer. Might I even sugest you make your linework on a piece of paper, and scan it in / take a picture of it. Right now your linework is realy simplistic, and the face is all too symetrical.

 

 

 

- Proportions. Just a good bit wrong with these, mostly basic stuff though. I suggest you visit something that will teach you more about anatomy.

 

 

 

- Other stuff. Learn to dither. ( http://www.spriteart.com ). One goal of pixeling is to not use a million colors. For example, many pixel artists may restrict themselves to say... 12 colors.

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, all of this C&C is for if you are serrious about pixeling, and not just trying to make "little pictures".

Definently arent pixel as Nadril said.

Well, I like the ground on the first one. Your art isn't really pixel art though, like what has been said before.

-not pixel

 

-need some work for sure

 

-way too big, try like 300X150, no bigger then 400X150

 

You should practice drawing.. ya know with a pencil and paper

 

 

 

The 2nd is much much worse the the 1st...

The shadow behind the guy in the first one is definitaly messed.
