[WIP] Boat

[Araphace]

Hello, I'm new here I've been browsing and I'd thought I'd register and get some critique on my work.

I've been having trouble getting this boat to look... well right, if you know what I mean. Any suggestions?



Thanks

Welcome!

Concept-wise, I can only tell it's a boat because of the point at one end. A sail or motor of some sort would add a lot of character! Also, I don't think that most boats are completely flat on the bottom.

Pixel-wise, you seem to have a confused light source and a lot of jaggies in the outline. It wouldn't hurt to read a few tutorials (http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=3467.0), especially on anti-aliasing. Good luck!

Look at a reference before you draw something unfamiliar. Here is a picture of an actual boat:



Look at many references to see that a boat is not just a pointed little wall with a floor, it has a specific shape. Instead of critiquing this, and making small edits to it, if you want something that looks good just scrap it and start over with a better shape in mind.

Thanks for your comments! I'll get straight to work
