my first pixel sig

The anatomy is alright. A few points I'd like to make on the anatomy topic though:

 

 

 

- Neck - He kinda looks like a creepy giraffe thing. :P Shorten the neck somewhat, or at least thicken it a little as it approaches his shoulders.

 

 

 

- Hands - Last I checked, we had fingers. :P I realise that fingers are difficult to pixel, especially when you're just starting out, but a few lines that look vaguely like fingers do help.

 

 

 

- Proportions - Not too knowledgable about human anatomy, but it feels like his arms are different sizes, his feet are waaaay too big (or his boots are just massive... o_o), and his head seems a little small for his body.

 

 

 

In order to improve your anatomy problems, I suggest Googling some human anatomy sites and reading through a few of them. We've got all the resources available to us through the Internet - use them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, we come to colours and shading.

 

 

 

- Colour choice - It appears as though you've used the default colours of MS Paint, which is a big no-no at the moment. Did you know you can pick your own colours by double-clicking the colour square thing at the palette?

 

 

 

- Shading - (or lack thereof). It doesn't seem like you've made any attempt at shading the character, which would probably stem from the use of the default colours, so I'll let you off easy here. :P

 

 

 

- Random black-outlined boots - There aren't any black lines anywhere else in the pixel apart from the boots, which make them look completely out of place. :|

 

 

 

To fix your colour problems, as I said above, don't use default colours. At the moment your pixel is blinding me because of the cyan blue. X_X

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is this pixel finished? You've used such a big canvas, everything else seems plain and empty - there's no detail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like I said before, we have excellent tutorials in the Gallery announcement up there - use what's there and read up on pixelling. It's recommended by the guide to not post your first pixel, as sometimes you'll just get a bunch of flames or something.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, your move. I suggest you check out some tutorials, and read up on human anatomy. G'luck for your future pixels. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Curse my tendency to make typoes. *proofreads post*

Uh yeah, really never ever post your first pixel sig attempts unless you've put lots of time into it, like 2+ hours. I can't really tell what is wrong with his head, but I'd start by redoing that part.
