Hello everyone, first time posting here and also my first time trying to do any form of pixel art.
At the moment, I am just trying to get some practice in. The character is of an anime character, named Erza Scarlet. I was interesting in attempting a long haired character, she was the first to pop into my mind. While the base is my own, it's heavily inspired by several japanese pixiv artists like yumurama. It still needs work in some places, like the hair, but I'm not exactly sure what to do with it.
My current problem right now is the back:
I'm not sure how to go about doing this at all. I tried to throw in some strands in the hair, but it still looks really odd to me. I'd appreciate any criticism and suggestions you can give.
Thank you.
