All of this help is so good and perfect, I feel a restless stir inside me
Thanks!
@ 32 I understand better now. I couldn't see the anatomy errors because I imitated a reference (the character is from virtua fighter), but I suppose I learned that doing this will lead to problems because the anatomy becomes different when translated to pixel art?
@PPD Thank you for verbalizing what Ryumaru showed, because without the words to explain it, I probably would not have understood it very well. Also thanks for the tips.
@Ryumaru, thank you for the GORGEOUS edit! It looks totally badass. And I can see how I should approach things, and I see how I should have developed a stronger core to build from. Details can only dress a poor start I know now.
I hate to be that guy, but can anyone direct me to good reads and information on learning art theory? I've just been winging it, and I can't find much information online, probably because I'm not looking in the right places. I'm not the best at just learning by seeing though as I'm honestly not the most visually gifted. It helps me to see it in words like how PPD helped me understand Ryumaru's edit.
Lastly, please don't laugh if when I come back with another try that it looks horrendous. My art fundamentals are near zero. The good news is I am determined, and once I become better as an artist, I think my pixel understanding will not only be put to use, but possibly improve too
Again, thanks at everyone
