SawQuart Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 I made this is under an hour. I hope to make a collection of Harry Potter art and related materials later, but for now this is what I made.Made in MS Paint and still a WIP.Reference: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magezhilo Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I'd suggest actually making the towers straight instead of just draw a line up freehand. It's a building, so treat it like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 clean it up a bit and it'll be nice looking, but the pallette/shading is pretty weird. I think you're trying for ambient lighting, and if you are then dither more and change the colors until they work well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltony Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Messy can you try to at least make it look like hogwarts castle, the first tower is not partially behind the building under it the roofs there not straight for some reason theres bumbs and its just Messy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Sort out your line art. This isn't a pencil. You can't just draw sketchy lines and leave it at that.Pixel art is a unique art form in that every pixel counts. You need to place it with care.You also completely ignored the source image and didn't draw half the things on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, the line art is a bit messy so there's no room for detail at the moment, but if he cleans that up then I think it will look pretty good.

SawQuart Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Yeah, it's supposed to be a rough sketch. I would've worked on it longer last night, but I like quick-drawing, rather than actual pixel art.@Eltony:> Messy can you try to at least make it look like hogwarts castle, the first tower is not partially behind the building under it the roofs there not straight for some reason theres bumbs and its just Messyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation@Robin:> You also completely ignored the source image and didn't draw half the things on it.Uh… mind telling me what I missed?

Robin Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 You missed half the lights, you missed a few towers, you missed the damn perspective on one of the tower roofs (makes it seem like you're looking from _above_), you missed the pathway down to the dock and you missed the geometry on pretty much every tower you did draw.One of them has windows going around fully on a curve. You just half-arsed a few squares and didn't even line them up properly.Just because something is a rough sketch does _not_ mean you can ignore the source image. Go look at a real artist's 'rough sketch' and you'll see that they get the markings in for all the detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
