Need advices on retro sprites.

[koyiro1]

Hi guys,im making a 100% custom retro game,and i really need some advices.
Since there's no ,,retro style,, tutorials,i decided to draw something myself.

Tree looks horrid. Don't pilow shade. Shade as if you had a sun.

The person looks sorta weird. Make the head a little smaller and don't really put a mouth on it.

Its not retro, its bad.
Learn the difference :/
Don't just use the term retro to cover up bad pixel art.

And you basically asked us what you can improve, but not look at what you've done.
The only thing you have shown us is practically just

> b)Ground (check:a)
> b)Face (it's just a base i'd say.)

With that said, you really need a lot of work, look up tutorials or see how good pixel art is done.
You can start with Pixeljoint or DeviantArt.

Try old NES games?

[aaaron]

I was trying to help. Gosh. :P

[6GreY6]

run some old game or emulator for nes and try redrawing something that's the best way
try google ;p
you need to improve everything so don't waste time reading this post go and learn!

[koyiro1]

I will! (Back in 20 mins).

[koyiro1]

Ok guys,i know it wasnt 20 mins,but i made another one,i think it look more retroish than the last one.
I know it's very small,but resize was making him very ugly. :P

[aaaron]

Still looks weird. Make the head shorter.

[ToshiroHayate]

He looks an hour glass with an egg head. You need to kind of make his head more round. Not an oval. Then work on making the torso a little smaller.

Stop doing 5 minutes of work and posting it. We don't want to see your half-arsed attempts at drawing. Plenty of them on the internet.

Go read up on basic pixel art. Go read up on basic anatomy. Go look at some basic video game art. Stop posting useless shit.

I think robin is right.
some sprites need really much time to made.
i often spend 2-3 hours or longer making characters
i'm not good at making character sprites after almost half year of practice
study hard

edit

this is how retro should look ;p
