My first pixel art drawing... What do you think?

on: January 19, 2016, 11:32:04 am
So, in my efforts to start doing pixel art, i came up with this to practice. This is Sanji the Cook from One Piece, imaginating that jumping fish is actually a salmon roll. Didn't use any base image so it's all from my head.
I doesn't have much lighting

Be really honest on you opinion, i'll take any shit you throw at me...

Looks good! I like the roll thingy you made (although it doesn't look like a salmon,but I get the idea . Maybe remove these lines coming from his head? Not sure about that :D).
Also the clouds and the horizon line look kinda off not sure how to fix that tho.

Extend your perspective line on the railing.
Does it meet the horizon?

There is too much blue I think, the water just kind of merges with the horizon, and most of the picture is blue. The sea is usually a lot darker blue, and the sky is a more lighter cyan. The clouds need to be made bigger and given a better cloud shape. Clouds are fluffy and big, and all these clouds seem very flat. If you are going for the clouds that are really high up, they need to be lighter and more extended. look up pictures of clouds and see how they form. This was a problem I had when I first started, I would quickly draw the things that I didn't think were relevant to the picture, but everything is relevant. So, work on the clouds and the sky/sea, but everything else looks really good, especially the water splash.
