runemetsa Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 just one thing... Shading basically means that objects are shaded, and shading goes from light-dark = lighter in the middle and darker at the edges. i like the poisition of right hand anyways.

imhomer Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 It looks like you chose a lot of paletted colors for this, i.e. default colors. They kind of hurt the eyes so here's a tip: create your own colors with more grey in them. This mutes the colors and makes them less extreme.

born2die Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 just one thing... Shading basically means that objects are shaded, and shading goes from light-dark = lighter in the middle and darker at the edges. i like the poisition of right hand anyways. just wanted to say thats not trew, It all depends on the placement of the light altough if the light commes from begind u are mostly a silouet if there isn't light comming from infort of u as well... don't believe look at this here the problems is he pillow shades ... the pixel has no texture no clean lines no anatomy no good shading no background and i can't believe u spend 40 minutes on this ...

pjb21 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 please dont lie in the titles, ok its not the worst, but still. work on your linework, draw in real life thats a good way, when drawing the linewrk use the line tool not the pencil, when shading DONT i repeat DONT use pillow shading it ruins the shape, look at how light falls of various objects in reallife, dont look at other artists work, its full of mistakes i know mine is and well, im not a pixel noob, ive been doing pixel for 2 years. listen to the advice experianced people give you, dont look at postcount that proves nothing. anatamny (sp?) arms halfway down whole body, legs 1.6times the size of the torso, torso about 3/4 times bigger than the head, but im not to sure about that. that said the anatamny isnt to bad. you havnt dont anough shading if anything, dont use many colour shading, use 2 or 3 to start with them use more as you get better (im on to 5 colours started on 2) if your going to go for no lines do it all over (the left hand) however if your starting i sugest keeping the black lines, dont rush ahead of yourself. 40 mins isnt very long when i make an avvy it take an hour or 2, generaly just over an hour. and thats an avvy, mind you what you did doesnt have a bg, that isnt to big a problem but, um, yeah. keep practising, both in paint and on paper.
