My first pixel art ever

[Kemerd]

This is my first ever pixel art besides weapons. (Which I can make WAY better than other things.)


That's a little too small and screwed up by image shack, He is a larger view.


_**Edit: Forgot to shade it, So I'll do that.**_

O darnit, I forgot to shade the shirt.

[Jeff]

Shading.  Use it.

[SawQuart]

Also, better line art is needed. Heads aren't all demented like that in real life.

[ToshiroHayate]

Pretty nice for a start! Let alone a first. But yes, Shading is definitely the next step.

[Kemerd]

Oops. Forgot about that. But it's my first so, I can have a better second.

[Sir Topham Hatt]

Shading, and texture is all I have to say.

[ddunit]

Explain to me how that shading is so large.

[luriok]

Not Bad, for a first pixel art ;D

[Chakkra]

I believe it.

Figure out anatomy and symmetry. Then try adding shading of some sort (Use pallets, I promise they help.) Add some sort of texture (Texture is hard, so learn to shade first)

Check out some pixeling tutorials. There are some good ones in the tutorials section of these forums.

Don't stop pixeling because people point out flaws! :3
If you're willing to work on your flaws, then you will go far.

Real hair doesn't have dots. Eith shade the hair or add more colors to you're pallete.

Mustard leaking from scalp? Cool.

Protip #9000.

Don't save as jpeg.

[Kemerd]

Thanks, I'll check em' out. (The tutorials.)

I'd make an outline for the pants/skin/shirt, and you should really fix that "shading" on the head, it doesn't blend that well.. xD

Here are two tutorials I find helpful. These aren't by me, but I found them on Google.

@Lukin:

Lol. Pick a light source.

This is sweet. You should make a platformer with these 8 bit looking graphics.
